The Activity Library in Seesaw is a wonderful place where educators like you have shared tons of activities and resources, ready to assign to your students right out of the box. But what if you can't find an activity for the content you want to teach? In this interactive session, we discuss the basics of creating your own activities, including design, writing directions, interactivity, and accessibility. We also discuss virtual classroom design and considerations for including those in your Seesaw classroom.
