Seesaw

Students can show what they know using photos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. It is simple to get student work in one place and shared with families, and nothing is shared without teacher approval. Safe and secure that becomes a digital portfolio for students.

Parent Support

  • Intro to Seesaw for Parents

  • Download available on App Store (Apple), Google Play, Kindle Fire or sign-in on the web https://web.seesaw.me/families (link to website for parents and families)

  • If you have a school iPad, the Seesaw app should already be on it.

  • Teachers should send home either a document explaining how your student can log in and begin creating in Seesaw at home. It will contain a link or a QR code so your child can log into his/her account. The prior login your child used at school will not work at home. If you do not get his information, please contact your child's teacher.

  • The videos posted below explain what Seesaw is, hot to post to the journal, and how to log in at home, either with a QR code or the text code your child's teacher sent.

Teacher Support

Seesaw launched Home Access Codes so that students can work on Seesaw from home. Our district turned on Home Access Codes for all premium classrooms. Below is a video explaining how to access codes. With Home Learning, students will not be able to see each other's work.

Text/Web-Based Help

Seesaw has an extensive help library with lots of professional development available for you to access. They also carefully differentiate it by grade-level band so you only receive what you need for your classes. It is also divided up into three categories - Seesaw Beginners, Seesaw Beyond the Basics, and Even More with Seesaw. Each category has about ten or so videos.

Inserting a YouTube Video

If you wish to send out a YouTube video to your students and don't want them taken to the YouTube website, add _popup after the ? in the address. For instance, instead of this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbMuSCWYM1g use this - https://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=sbMuSCWYM1g when you put in the link.
