SeeSaw in the Classroom

SeeSaw is an website and an app that can be used on iPads or Chromebooks.  I love SeeSaw because as an educator you can use it as an assessment tool for your students.  Essentially it is a digital portfolio that compiles your students work.  I have personally created an account and it is extremely easy to navigate and figure out how to use.  It is very user friendly.  There are many security options on it as well.  As the teacher you can control whether you are the only one to see it, other students, or even parents.  The students can type, record, or takes pictures to upload their work.  It is student friendly as well, I had Kindergarteners uploading their own work.  There is also a way that you can allow the students to comment on each others work.  For older grades you can set an assignment for them to debate and comment on each others stuff.  As the teacher you can delete a comment if needed. I would use SeeSaw as a way to keep parents involved and updated on their child throughout the school day.  It would be a great way for the students to display their own work to their parents (student lead conference).  Communication is very important between the teacher and the students and their families.   You can allow the parents permission to comment on varies assignments to encourage and promote their child.  If a students sees and experiences that support and feedback then it can motivate them to do their best work on the assignments.
