Overview
As students begin submitting work, Seesaw can begin to feel unruly and disorganized. Fortunately, organization becomes a lot simpler when you make use of folders. Folders allow you to organize activities and student journal entries in a way that makes sense to you.
We recommend having folders sorted by subject. This will also allow specialists to create a folder for their activities within your class, helping to keep their materials separate from your own.
Note that folders are different from collections. Folders store student work and responses to activities, while collections are a way to organize activities in your activity library so they are easier to find.
