Testimonials:
Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.
-Joe McMahon
Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.
-James D. Calder
@jimgroom is the Billy Martin of edtech.
-Luke Waltzer
My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."
-Clint Lalonde
Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
“Reverend” Jim “The Bava” Groom, alias “Snake Pliskin” is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed “used car salesman” clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washington’s DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with “Edupunk”, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.
I am Jim Groom

The ds106 99: #24 Presentation on Social Media at UMW
Last week Will Richardson asked me to speak for about 20 minutes to a group of professors at the University of Washington, Bothell (I kept saying Bethel, I don’t know why–some kind of strange block) about the use of social … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #23 Animated GIM
No sound, but all the non-verbal cues. I love Noise Professor, his Photoshop skills are pretty epic. And the actual presentation, which I will be blogging about shortly, is not nearly as good as this animated GIF. I’m best heard … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #22 Laura Falcon
Last Spring Laura Falcon was part of the first iteration of the Digital Storytelling class I taught at UMW. That was a tough semester for many of those students—who were an amazing bunch—because I was very much imagining the course … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #21 Aisle 2 Bin 36
Last week the award-winning student-run newspaper at UMW, The Bullet, wrote this article about the final project Megan Eichenberg did for ds106. It was an amazing project, and I am ashamed I haven;t featured it sooner, but thanks to awesomeness … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #20 #jimgroomstudentproblems
The third iteration of ds106 is coming to an end in the next week or so, and there is no question in my mind that this last semester with its open, online component really elevated this course to the next … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #19 Bava Late Night Radio
I finally got back into ds106radio after a bit of time off from live shows so that I could finish up a bunch of work that was due. Feeling a bit relieved, and being goaded by Dr. Garcia, I jumped … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #18 ds106radio T-shirt
Taking a page out of Todd Conaway’s book I got my ds106radio t-shirts a couple of weeks ago and I ma finally sporting it around campus. Special thanks to Andrew Allingham for the design, and I hope to get more … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #17 Annihilating my network
You might be wondering why this bava post has all these images of various people from my network just sitting there in neat rows like a traditional classroom. Well, you’ll just have to watch the video below to find out. … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #16 The Bitch Session
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog One more from the Nicecast Archive before I move on to another topic. I don’t think I actually posted the audio to the ds106 radio bitch session Martha Burtis, Alan … Continue reading
The ds106 99: #15 Suburbia
This is the last episode (thus far) of the Radio Free Ferris soundtrack shows on ds106radio (you can find episodes 1 and 2 here and here). My memory of this one was tainted by the fact that I thought it … Continue reading
