Makewaves is a safe online community that makes it safe and easy for young people to share their work (videos, stories, blogs, photos, podcasts) with a real audience. Their achievements can be rewarded with badges. We work with national partners to deliver engaging activities for young people to take. It is a chance for partners to connect with young people in interesting and relevant ways using the technology that young people love to use to communitate and connect.
Badges created by partners and by other schools can be found in the public badge library on Makewaves. This is just a snapshot of that. Learner-led. Schools – track achievement and all types of learning & engagement.
