Hi,

I'm portuguese teacher, master degree student of Education and Multimedia Comunication and I want to try using Mahara 1.4 with my students (10 - 12 years old).

It's possible?

Thanks a lot.

Holà David,

Of course you can use Mahara with K12 learners and teachers. I suggest you to read and take part to the pedagogy forum (http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/view.php?id=25).

I encourage you to acquire Ellen Marie Murphy's book "Mahara 1.4 cookbook" (http://www.packtpub.com/mahara-1-4-cookbook-for-training-education/book) in which you will find examples of activities in K12 situations.

Nota Ellen Marie Murphy is also on this mahara.org web site (http://mahara.org/user/view.php?id=181).

Welcome to Mahara

David, go for it. Here in NZ we have large numbers of students of this age using Mahara (see www.myportfolio.school.nz). You could even have a look around this site and join a few of the teacher foums if you wanted to learn from peers. Just let me know.

Paul.
