Seesaw is a multimedia journal that empowers students to showcase what they’re learning at school.
Many educators use SeeSaw for K-3, but it can be used all the way through 12 grade.
Teachers create a class. Each student gets their own journal stored in the cloud.
Students & teachers add artifacts of learning, like photos, videos, or drawings. Students add voice, text or drawing annotations to an item.
Teachers approve new journal items. Approved items are then shared with parents via app, text message or email notifications.

Video Conferencing Tool
PGSD requires teachers to use Google Meet when teleconferencing synchronously with students. Zoom currently does not meet compliance when dealing with student data and privacy.
Google Meet
Create a Google Meet session using Google Calendar to have a face to face, live presentation, Q&A, or discussion with your students.
Refer to Richard Byrne's blog post to create a Google meet session or watch this video.
Add the link into Google Classroom.
Share this video with your students on how they can join a Google Meet session.
Teachers - Make sure you are the last to leave the Meet. This will prevent students from going back into the meet after it is over.
THIS JUST IN!!!
Add the Chrome extension Google Meet Grid View. This will show everyone in a Google Meet in a grid view just like Zoom.
