Creating your Credly Account and Managing Your Badges

There are a number of steps you will need to follow to be able to collect, manage and showcase your badges. For this Badge Passport you will be using Credly.

Step One: Go to the Credly site and register. Make sure you have permission from your teacher and parent / guardian before you do this. Do not use your real name when creating your user name and use an avatar or other picture. This is to protect your online identity. Remember to keep you password secure, make it unpredictable and don't give it to anyone else. (See the Password Badge for more hints).

Step Two: Once you have created you account you will now be able to collect your badges. For each badge your teacher will either send you an email telling you how to claim your badge or you will be given a Claim Code which you can use on Credly.

Step Three: As you start to collect your badges you will be able to put them into groups or categories. For example if you get maths badges you can make a Maths folder and put all the badges you get for Maths in the one place.
