Summary: Digital portfolio that connects teachers and students (with an option to add parents). Teachers can create assignments, pick and edit pre-made assignments from a library, or students can add any work they want to share (without an assignment or prompt). Portfolios can hold pictures or videos (taken with Chromebook camera), audio, typed text, drawings, and links. (submissions can use a combination - example: students can submit a picture with recorded audio)

Get Started Guide:

• Seesaw PD

• Youtube channel

UDL Connections:

• Minimize threats and distractions: You can make each learning journal private, so only teachers can view each student's work. Students can submit entries anytime. Teachers can also open journals for the entire class - students can comment or "heart" entries by peers.

• Develop self-assessment and reflection: Students can use this journal to track their progress towards a goal and teachers can provide feedback written and/or audio comments to every entry

• Expression & Communication: Students can add entries in their journal in the form of text (typed), audio, video, pictures (taken with Chromebook camera), or links. (students can also use a combination of expressions for one entry, for example: you can take a picture, then add text and/or recorded audio with it)
