• Commenting on a Post 

Where to post announcements and messages and the differences between!  (thank you to Jodi Sanders, SCS, for compiling this)

• Journal (the big green + button): 

  • This should feature student work. 

  • It is better used if the student is either part of the work or in the photo/video being shared. 

  • This is not generally the place for announcements from the teacher, because those announcements are not student work. 

  • Families receive an email notification telling them work has been added to the journal. 

•  Announcements - top of the page under "Messages" button:

  • Use this when you are sending to large groups - newsletters, announcements, events, etc. 

  • You can choose at the top of the message whether it goes to students, families, or teachers. 

  • Recipients cannot reply to the announcement. 

  • Families receive an email with the announcement embedded - this is why it may look like your announcement wasn't viewed in Seesaw. 

• Messages  - top of the page under "Messages" button  : 

  • Use this when you need to connect with just a family or two, anything private, things you want them to be able to respond to. 

  • Recipients CAN reply to the messages and everyone on the message will see it and be able to reply. (This can create the dreaded "reply all" snowball.) 

  • Families receive an email with the message embedded - this is why it may look like your message wasn't viewed in Seesaw.
