Secondly what would you like me to talk about : My journey with Mahara????? How I implement it in the classroom. Up to you

Hi Cyndy, sent you an email.

 

I would like to keep things simple. I would like to ask you to talk about your journey and experiences with Mahara.

How do you use it?

Why do you use it?

What's exciting about Mahara?

How are you involved with Mahara?

What suggestions would you have for a teacher new to eportfolios?

How does Mahara set itself apart from others?

Basically, I would like you to talk about Mahara related that would be useful for a teacher about to start using or thinking about using an eportfolio system. No stress, just some advice and experience sharing with a bunch of teachers.

Thanks so much,

Dirk

 I can be found on skype under Dirk Meyer, Airdrie, Alberta, Canada

What a great event today! Thanks to Cyndy, Heinz and Ian, an audience of about 75 teachers here in Calgary got a taste of global communities. Although at times audio on our end was touch and go, we listened attentively as Ian, Heinz and Cyndy shared some of their experiences with Mahara with us.

After the call, a very lively discussion started.

This was very cool!!
