Introducing Seesaw to Students

Overview

Before students complete activities in Seesaw, they will need to learn how to sign in and the basics of how Seesaw works.

How to Sign in to Seesaw in SPS

Review the materials for your grade level:

K-1 iPad Directions / Grades 2-5 Chromebook Directions

Seesaw Basics for Students

Seesaw provides videos, lessons plans and information for teachers to use with students. 

Seesaw Codes

You may read about class codes on the Seesaw website, but we do not use them in SPS because Tech Services has automated the class, student account, and enrollment processes.

Review Lesson Plans

Your next step is to open a resource document from Seesaw. Remember, there are parts of it that are irrelevant to our district that you will skip over.

The resource document contains materials that you may want to use with your students. These include:

Lesson 1: Introduction to Seesaw/Create a Post (the rest is not specific to SPS)

 Lesson 2: Respond to an Activity

Please IGNORE all sign in information contained in the document provided by Seesaw.

Responding to Activities

Teaching your students how to respond to an activity (Lesson 2) is critical.
