Educator and digital explorer. I work in a k-12 environment. Presently I support mahara by participating in the forums, filing the odd bug report and by providing free mahara accounts at www.portfoliocommunities.com.

Hi!

 I come from the Czech Republic.

We are currently trying to introduce our students into the world of digital portfolios and their use in the profession of a teacher. So I am all eager to explore Mahara and find out if this is what I have been looking for!

Mahara and Moodle advocate / Mahara French translator.

I am Director of ICT and a teacher of Economics at the Gymnase de Nyon - a further education college of 1400 students between 16-20 years old - in Canton de Vaud (Switzerland). Since 2007, in addition to my day-to-day teaching at the Gymnase, I have been lecturing on new technology and e-Learning methodology at the State's Teacher Training School (HEP) in Lausanne.

In my school, I am particularly active in alternative learning strategies and I have introduced a course about "Learning to learn". This is a programme given by three colleagues and myself, that helps students with a range of learning difficulties to discover and learn strategies for improving their way of learning and helping them to understand new methods of knowledge acquisition. Furthermore I have developed and I am maintaining our eLearning services on a Moodle platform with more than 45 lessons given in blended learning conditions (part in class, part distance learning).
