Badges can be extremely simple, and completed in one short lesson. Or they can incorporate a whole term’s worth of work as students progress through the various tasks set by the teacher or badge creator.

The Digital Leaders network on Makewaves is a fast-growing hub where schools can share their experiences of implementing Digital Leaders, and gain access to resources and best practice guides. Teachers can find out everything they need to know here, and connect with a like-minded group of educators who are striving for the same goal in their schools. Makewaves is the perfect tool for empowering your digital leaders. With their own logins and the tools to create blogs, articles, videos, image galleries, audio clips, and document downloads, they can quickly become web publishers and inspire others to do the same. The Digital Leader badges on Makewaves will mark their progress as they learn new skills and become accomplished ambassadors for new technology in your school.

What Teachers say…

The Badge System is great! I can now set students multiple tasks and monitor the work at a glanceDan Donaldson, Shireland Collegiate Academy

Badges are a great way of focusing pupils on a task or of lending credibility. Furthermore it is a great way to assess and evidence pupils' progress.Jason Bromfield, Music Teacher

Students love to discover and earn badges and help each other

One of the biggest impacts we have seen is the eagerness of children to get involved and try something new.Matt Rogers, Teacher

Presentation Notes
The feedback we receive from teachers on the combined impact of Digital Leaders, Makewaves and digital badges is unanimously positive. We have witnessed primaries and secondary schools making huge strides in student engagement, peer-to-peer learning, flipped classrooms and increased attainment, by taking advantage of tools that are easy to use. Getting started with your own Digital Leaders and giving them access to Makewaves is fast, simple and safe.
