Seesaw

WONDER

Have you ever wondered how you can support your students' efforts to document their own learning in a digital portfolio and provide an audience for their work?

Learn how you can use Seesaw to establish a digital workflow in which students demonstrate learning through images, drawings, video, audio, and more.

OBJECTIVES
