Seesaw

What is Seesaw?

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.
