Seesaw is a tool designed to be used by educators and students to share learning with their families, classmates, and teachers. One place for all Home-School Communication where families only see their own child's journal and teachers can send classwide announcements and private messages as well.
The app is easy to use, but if you need some guidance to set up your classes you can have access to their "Getting Started Guides" to follow a step-by-step path including introductory lessons for your students and ideas for their first posts! You can create your own activities, but their library is full of thousands of activities created by teachers for students K-12 to be used immediately, to give you ideas or to connect with other teachers!
I love it because encourages ownership and independence. My students have their own space to record, reflect and share; involves their families with updates about their learning; saves my student's work in one organized and accessible place.
I've been using it for 7 months and we all love it. Parents get excited every time they get a message from me or a post from their child. My students are always at the expectation of our new "Seesaw Challenge" and keeps them engaged with all our activities. You should give it a try!!
