Grade Teams need to decide the following:
- What is our goal for the way the our Seesaw will be used? (When will things be published?)
- What is our goal for the way that our Seesaw posts will be annotated? (Will every post have an annotation?)
- What folders will you have?
- The folders Language, Math, Unit of Inquiry, Music, Art, PE, French, Spanish, and Russian are the starting point, you may as a team add more if you choose.
- What should be put on Seesaw?
- What shouldn’t be put on Seesaw?
- What are our grade expectations for comments?
- What do you expect from the students:
- How often they should post
- Should they post only when you tell them to?
- Should they be reading each other’s posts?
- Should they send their Seesaw QR code to other family/friends?
- Who is the audience?
- What are the teacher reading and feedback expectations?
- When and how are you going to have fellow students feedback with each other?
- What are your expectations for images?
- What can be in an images?
- What can’t be in an image? - last names, inappropriate for school, etc.
- Should we post bad quality images?
- Can they post images that they have copied from the internet? (The answer is NO even if they cite it. They still require permission from the creator. So tell them that they should be creating their own images to go with posts. They can however add a link to the page that the image lives.)
- What are your expectations for videos?
- Length (suggest that the length is kept very short under 1 min)
- Digital Citizenship items - no last names, no locations, private info private.
- Can they post videos that they have copied from the internet? (The answer is NO even if they cite it. They still require permission from the creator. So tell them that they should be creating their own images to go with posts. They can however add a link to the page that the video lives.) (Teacher made videos can be added to the teacher's YouTube account and then added as a link to a Seesaw post.)
