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.

6 shots or 6 frames? Shots would be interesting — you could pull single takes and put them together in a short video — I wonder how that would work esp. re: the editing in Hitchcock’s films.
Yeah, think we will do that for the video part of the class, I really like that idea. But or now you are right, it is just 6 frames 🙂

Love the idea of telling the story of a film in a series of still shots. Will try this with a class this year. Thanks. Really gets to the core of narrative.
Yeah,
This is a lot of fun as an assignment, and I took it from an idea Tom Woodward had last semester to have students create their own film posters. What I like about this assignment is how into it students were. And actually I would consider doing the Flickr visual story telling prompt in class before assigning this one. They did image stories during class in groups of 3, and that was a ball. I modeled it on flickr’s Tell a story in 5 frames. And here are our results;

And then the daily shoot assignments I picked up from Cogdog (I also picked up the Tell a story in 5 frames from him because he is the internet) have absolutely ruled:

Have fun, I know I am having an absolute ball 🙂
