Mahara - setting up your account
Hooray - its time to start making use of our Mahara portfolios! Go through the steps below to begin creating your profile and portfolio. Some steps you may already have accomplished.
For instructions on creating your "Breadth" page, look at the instructions on our site go HERE.
- Access your Mahara profile HERE - there is a shortcut to the login page on the main Photo 1 page in the top right corner also. Your password is the same as the one you use in the Media Center; once you log in, click on "ePortfolio"
- Request to be Mr. Cecil's friend (hover over "Groups" click on "Find Friends" and search for "Cecil" - then click on "send friend request.") You can also "friend" other people at River Hill or other Howard County schools; I am pretty sure that all students involved in photo, advanced art, dance, music, and the GT independent research program have Mahara accounts.
- Upload a profile picture - this can be ANY [school appropriate] image! It can be a picture of you, or a picture you've taken, or simply a picture you like. You can use a photo from Facebook or Instagram if you like (you may have to screenshot from Instagram.) (For instructions, look under "Content" and "Profile Picture" - use the instructions on our site to help you: Photo 1 > Mahara > Your Mahara Profile & Profile Picture.)
- Join the "RHHS - Cecil - Photo 1 - 2015-2016" group (go to "Groups" click on "Find Groups" and search for "RHHS - Cecil - Photo 1 - 2015-2016" and then click on "Join Group" )
- Create a "Breadth" page and upload your strongest images you scanned from each roll you shoot
