Seesaw is a "student-driven digital portfolio that empowers students of any age to independently document what they are learning at school and share it with their teachers, parents, classmates and even the world". Depending on the settings, teachers can moderate all content created by students, including comments, before sharing with parents and families.
In Seesaw, students have the opportunity to record video of themselves or of others, to create screencasts and to upload video creations completed in other apps.
The goal of this badge is to submit video created by students that was either created in Seesaw or uploaded to the platform.
