Google Classroom and Seesaw work very well together. Seesaw gives students an easy way to "show their thinking" with the microphone and video camera. 3 little dots let student copy a link and add it to a Google Classroom assignment. Make your Slides in Google and upload to Seesaw to easily add audio narration or even video!
Students using email log in can use Seesaw at home. Home learning codes are NOT needed for online learning.
