Basically, Seesaw is a learning platform that students, teachers, and parents can all use to "watch" a student go through school. 

Students use Seesaw as a way to share what they know with many tools: microphone to record their voice, pen tool to draw pictures and write, camera to take pictures of their work, and video to record themselves performing a skill or explaining a concept.

Teachers use Seesaw to assess, gather data, help students create a learning portfolio, and so much more! I love getting to actually hear students talk and explain with the microphone. It is a much more accurate assessment tool because you can hear hesitations and self-corrections (things a paper assessment can't show!).

Using Seesaw to connect with parents is my favorite thing about Seesaw!

When you get the app and sign up with directions that I email to you, or scan a code at open house, you will see something that is similar to Facebook. When your child posts something or when I post a picture/video of your child's work, you will see what they did and you will be able to comment. Parents will only be able to see their own child's work.

I will send an email that will walk you through the steps to sign up, or I will also have a code that you can scan at Open House that will walk you through the process, as well. Easy!
