Mahoodle Moodle and Mahara

In the fall of 2013, Cattaraugus Allegany Board of Corporative Education Services (CABOCES) updated its Moodle service to a Mahoodle allowing single sign on and integration of the Moodle LMS and the Mahara ePortfolio system. Over the last three years, Mahara use has grown in our network to include Professional Development, Career and Technical Education, Online Instruction, and component school districts. This Mahoodle discussion will include best practices in Professional Development, classroom instruction, and online instruction.

Why?

When I was in College.......

"Personalising learning involves thinking about knowledge as an active process. Students get to be informed, active participants in their own learning, they contribute to decisions about what learning can work best for them, and they have a much better understanding of how they are progressing." Minister of Education, NZ, 2007

“Many students were excited about the fact that parents, including grandparents, could see their works, if they chose to do the sharing. Many of the students liked sharing their works with other students and teachers. The ultimate success was placing the Romeo and Juliet videos on Mahara. These could be shared with family members, friends etc., and it is something, that upon graduation, they can view again and bring back the memories. Overall, this past year proved to be exciting, as we were the first class at CRCS to create digital portfolios, and the students took pride in this.” - Mrs. Botens CRCSD

It will contain a mixture of two or more of: text, image, sound, video, links.
It will be easy to access and view online.
