Tasks

    • Visit Seesaw and sign-up for a free Teacher account with your school-issued Google account.
    • Create a new class and decide how you want your students to join (I strongly recommend using email/Google Account)
    • Invite your students to join your class (Seesaw will provide you with instructions).

You are welcome to collaborate with someone who is taking this class with you in the summer.

    • Add the following items to your Class Feed to experience the functionality of each: Photo, Video, Drawing, Upload File, Note, Link
