Editor's Notes
- #2: 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.
- #4: 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.
- #7: Evidence can be rich media – social media tools of Makewaves,
- #8: Young oeople can se which members have chosen to take a badge. Mexican wave effect. Young people are notified when a friend / clasmate earns a badge. Quality not quantity.
