Edu-pumkin II – The Bava
![](https://bionicteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/4022396516_30c46547a3.jpg)
Unlike Jim Groom, who only lavishes surface praise while harboring deep hatred, I truly respect the Bava and integrate him into our family’s holiday traditions1. I had to make a hole in the back of Jim’s head to let some of the hot air out. Still needs some work though as the candle keeps going […]
WPMU plugins you ought to have
![Jim Groom's face added to painting of a sleeping child. Text says "Every night, I stay up, just to watch Jim Groom sleep.](https://bionicteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/jimmy_groom-550x387.jpg)
Here are a few plugins I’ve got in the WPMU install I’m running. Most, if not all, were a result of my sordid association with WPMU cult leader, Jim Groom. He’s likely posted on each multiple times but it’s hard to find them among all the old cartoons and toy posts- besides I had to […]
Migrating from WP to WPMU
I spent some time the other day helping our ITRTs figure out how to install WPMU and then get their single user WordPress blogs imported into WPMU. I’ll probably make a video sooner or later as this is probably murder without images. So here’s my shot at best practice advice in case you have to […]

![](https://bionicteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Picture-29-550x307.png)
So here’s the proof of concept page for those who just want the idea and know how to change things already. It’s a great way to let students quickly and easily build an interactive online comic book story or display their art work. I really like the potential. I’m documenting some process here in hopes […]

Publishing Google Docs to WPMU
I was looking to have some people in my class publish lesson plans to their WPMU blogs via Google Docs. So I consulting the dean of WPMU, The Right Reverend Jim Groom, and he made it look so easy. Yet, I failed. Feeling stupid I started drinking looked at the differences in our set up. […]
Google Forms Meets the Spaghetti Syndication Monster
![](https://bionicteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-4.png)
Or – how I do things since I can’t program – but isn’t the first title much more fun?1 First off, thanks to Jim Groom for letting me bounce ideas off him, giving some technical assistance and for testing services rendered. Now to business. Here’s what I wanted- a web accessible form that would display […]

Why use WPMU in K12?
![](https://bionicteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/3216158398_a6c577fe3b.jpg)
I’ve been slowly migrating all of our individual WP installs into WPMU over the last few days. It’s going to really make life a lot easier around here while adding some real advantages. You’ve seen Jim showing a million reasons to use WPMU in the college environment and while most (maybe all) can be transferred […]
WPMU Easter Egg
So I’ve installed WPMU on one of our externally hosted servers and with Jim’s patient assistance have been trying to get it in shape. One of the things I needed was the theme editor. So I was going through the steps to get it installed and things are looking good when . . . I […]
