Overview

Seesaw is a platform for student engagement that inspires students of all ages to do their best, and saves teachers time!

Students use creative tools to take pictures, draw, record videos and more to capture learning in a portfolio.

Teachers find or create activities to share with students.

Families only see their child’s work and leave comments and encouragement. Learn more about what families see here.

Feedback and Reflection

Some teachers use Seesaw primarily as a place for students to share their work, and specifically encourage individual reflection and feedback. Seesaw becomes a place not only where student work can be stored, but where teachers can provide encouragement, constructive criticism, and suggestions for improvement.

Assignments and Assessment

Some teachers use Seesaw to collect student work, then assess and give direct private feedback to students. Teachers can even push assignments to students for them to complete and turn in via Seesaw. This makes Seesaw primarily a place where students and teachers can interact around their work.

Family Engagement

Seesaw is also a way to communicate with families and keep them in the loop on the learning their child is doing at school. Students add posts to Seesaw that they are proud of in a self-directed way, as well as work their teacher has assigned. Teachers report that students are motivated to do better work when they know their families will provide immediate feedback during the day or ask them about it that evening.
