MaharaDroid 1.7

Recently downloaded the MaharaDroid app for Android phone. I'm new to Android and wanted to try this for a while. As usual I tried to set it up with no help and after 10 minutes of working out where the token went I looked for some help. I knew Kristina was a fan of this and found some help in the MyPortfolio forums. The attached video (courtesy of Kristina) made it easy.

The app makes it easy to upload images and videos that you have taken on you phone. You can create folders to upload them to and also wait until you are in a wifi area to upload the artefact. The app also enables you to provide descriptions and tags from within the app which then follow it into your Mahara instance.

This allows students (and teachers!) to upload anything to Mahara that can be shared on their phone. It saves downloading to computers then uploading to Mahara, it makes the process simple. I'm a big fan already!
