Here's a brief synopsis of my final project for URI's EDC 534: Digital Authorship. Many thanks to @MikeRobbGrieco and my classmates! #EDC534 https://t.co/kX869JUP3S

3rd of 3: Hudson as "Yi-Fen Chou" was at best tone-deaf--likely worse. Daniel James as Danny Santiago might or might not have the defense of the ignorance of the moment. The only redemptive bit of the Ern Malley debacle is Ashbery's response. #EDC534 https://t.co/E1WbM4tD9f

My 2nd of 3 notes on Menand in the New Yorker and Christopher Miller's _Impostors: Literary Hoaxes and Cultural Authenticity_ is a question: is it still a mere "hoax" if it intentionally appropriates in order to make a political point? #EDC534 https://t.co/E1WbM4tD9f

Reading and discussing with my peers the "ethics of authorship." 1st of 3 thoughts re: Louis Menand's 2018 New Yorker essay: amazing that the "Yi-Fen Chou" scandal of 2015, which felt like an earthquake in po-biz, is almost a footnote here! https://t.co/E1WbM4tD9f

@spencerideas John: No, you didn't come across as defensive. PBL is almost always hard and messy, I think!

[Lucas Jacob @Lucas_J_Jacob]

Playing "devil's advocate" to John Spencer's podcast: I've had more than the average amount of exposure to PBL in PK-12 schools. I wonder if the podcast doesn't fully own up to the...let's call them "challenges" inherent in PBL structures. #EDC534 https://t.co/fVfpJOtpdf

[Lucas Jacob @Lucas_J_Jacob]

@spencerideas Dr. Spencer, thanks so much for your reply. (Sorry for the slow response. Not online much this past week!) I look forward to delving into further episodes. We're a bit of a "PBL household," so to speak, and delight in being part of the conversation.

[Lucas Jacob @Lucas_J_Jacob]

I've been listening to John Spencer's podcast episode on why all students deserve PBL (or "project-based learning"). At its base, this is an argument with which I've agreed since my 14 years teaching summer school to "gifted" students. https://t.co/fVfpJOtpdf

My first Medium essay is a reflection for all of those reluctant early-adopters out there: the folks who push their work forward in the digital world even when (especially when?) they're unsure if that's what they want to do! #EDC534 https://t.co/QDkng4tPXw

@wfryer @NAISnetwork Thanks for spreading the word about that essay, @wfryer ! Sorry I'm so far behind in this -verse. Catching up now!

[Lucas Jacob @Lucas_J_Jacob]

Many thanks to the inimitable @sarahmfine for helping to spread the word not just about this piece, but about Teaching While White!
