How it works Training
Radiowaves provides schools with the tools to ignite students' enthusiasm for learning in core curriculum subjects and also for exciting Study Support and Enrichment activities.
Radiowaves puts Personalised Learning into practice. It provides young people with new choices over how they create and how they present their work and themselves. Students are motivated and challenged by publishing to a unique audience from the UK and around the world. Thousands of stories, interviews, documentaries and dramas have been published on Radiowaves created by children and young people.
Radiowaves Reporters have access to a community of other young people from which they can get feedback, support and inspiration for their own progression. Students have ownership of their own web page and can set their own goals.
Being part of Radiowaves allows students to develop important life skills such as verbal communication, taking responsibility for a project and working with others in a safe and relevant environment.
Radiowaves is an ideal way to reach out to parents, businesses and the wider community. Anyone with internet access can listen to audio and watch videos on the site providing the perfect platform for enabling Student Voice and celebrating the creativity and achievement in your school.
Radiowaves provides a great opportunity for transition projects. It allows feeder primary students to meet and share hopes and fears with each other and secondary students. It enables new students to develop a sense of community and access examples of projects and activities they will be participating in at Secondary level.
Radiowaves is an ideal platform for supporting the Sector Skills Council Creative Diplomas by providing real opportunities to develop a range of media skills and apply them to real world projects.
Unlike other online social networking sites Radiowaves has been designed with education in mind. All content is viewed and checked by teachers and no personal details can be viewed by the general public. Radiowaves is suitable for use on school networks and provides a safe, trusted way to meet young people's expectations when using the web.
Radiowaves puts students at the centre of learning helping them find new ways to tackle difficult topics. Radiowaves projects enable students to actively contribute to issues and make a change.
