Seesaw Instruction & Insights
Seesaw for Schools is no longer the highest level of Seesaw. With the Seesaw Instruction and Insights tier, teachers access additional tools such as read-to-me, flexcards, focus mode, fluency assessments and further options for response types to assessment questions.
Assessment Mode in Seesaw.mp4Assessment Mode
Seesaw Activities now has an assessment mode that allows teachers to creatformative and summative assessment elements within a Seesaw Activity. There are two options, practice mode gives students feedback on their answer so they can correct it and assessment mode does not correct student responses.
Short Answer & Open Ended Questions
Within the Instruction and Insights Tier - teachers can set questions with short or open-ended answers. Short answers are automatically marked by Seesaw and open ended questions are marked manually by the teacher.
Rubrics in Seesaw
Adding a rubric to a Seesaw activity is a great way to assess learning. They can be easily created in Google Slides or Seesaw and added to Seesaw using the Reflect in Seesaw Chrome Extension.
When students complete an activity in Seesaw that has been created by the teacher, it is important they go to the activities tab and click add. If students do not follow this step, their response will not be linked to the activity, resulting in the teacher not being able to easily see the student's response from the activities tab.
No more copy & edit!
Seesaw activities allows you to easily create and share activities for your students to complete in Seesaw on iOS and the web. Get inspired with grade-level specific activities from our library, or create your own! Activities can be shared across classes and across the school (with other teachers) if you are using Seesaw for Schools.
When creating Seesaw activities you can add instructions that include the Seesaw icons. This is particularly useful for early years students who are only just learning to read. Use this infopic as a reference for what shortcuts to use to make images appear in your instructions!
My Library
As well as the Seesaw Activity Library you can also store your own activities. If you use the free version of Seesaw you can save up to 100 activities where as Seesaw Plus allows 500 and Seesaw for Schools is unlimited.
Save activities other teachers have made by visiting the Seesaw Community Google Sheet. Let's add the activities we create here, as any activity saved from another user can be customised and save us valuable time! I have also created my own Google Sheet with activities specifically designed for the Australian Curriculum. Visit and contribute at:
