Seesaw is an application that provides a simple way for teachers and students to record and share what's happening in the classroom.
Seesaw gives students a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology.
Each student gets their own journal and will add things to it, like photos, videos, drawings, or notes. Student's work can also be shared with their families.
It is a school based decision to take up Seesaw as schools will pay for the subscription.
For the 2024-2026 period Cenet is brokering a pricing agreement of $4.51 per student licence per year. Schools that were part of the previous 3 year agreement will be contacted by email. early October.
CEDP will invoice those schools annually who decide to take up the Seesaw group pricing.
Pricing structure explained
2024 - 2026 Pricing

When your school is ready to launch Seesaw and Connect Families, it's a great idea to send out a letter to explain to Families what Seesaw is. Feel free to make a copy and edit this letter with your school logo and relevant information to share with your Families.
Step 1: Archive Classes
Step 2: Remove teachers
Step 3: Assign Missing Student IDs & Merge Duplicates
Step 4: Uploading new students (via datahub) or without datahub (instructions below)
Schools can utilise a Seesaw Data hub report to help streamline the student and class data upload into Seesaw. Access to the report has been given to all SeeSaw Administrators via this link. See the following video for explanation on how to run the report.
