Community reviews for Seesaw

This is user-friendly and allows my second graders to listen to themselves read as well as see how they read. It builds confidence in themselves. It also allows them to teach to whoever may be watching.

I like it for younger students to have the option of explaining their work in a comfortable setting. Students are reflecting on their writing/math while they explain their thinking process.

This is a MUST HAVE for all early childhood teachers.

This is really a great tool. And it has Web-based tool as well. It's really a powerful tool with all its features.

I used Seesaw in my reading club for Coding, to empower my students to express themselves and use technology in the classroom. I received positive feedback from parents and students from using this resource. Student driven digital portfolios and simple parent communication. The deputy chancellor and different superintendents observe my students using seesaw and they were impressed.

I love that Seesaw has a free version of the app, and I also love our new paid school subscription. However, we did experience some challenges in merging the two. For example, a free teacher account can easily be merged with the paid school account, but the classes cannot be merged. It's easy to create all student and teacher accounts and classes through an imported CSV file. I recommend creating folders for specials rather than adding more classes. In grades PreK-2 our students use QR codes to sign in, and in grades 3-5 our students are using their google accounts to sign in. Even though we are a 1:1 school, we are using the shared devices setting with QR codes for signin, and it is working well for us. Any teacher can pick up any iPad and document learning for any student.

I think SEESAW is an amazing tool as it really lends itself to the differentiation of needs for every student individually, in groups, or as a whole class. It assists students in organization and motivates students to be attentive to their reflective process since their work is posted and can be viewed by peers, teachers, and parents. Students are able to self-manage their accounts easily once they become comfortable with using the program. Student's seem to be excited about using SEESAW and sharing their work. Great program!

I love this product as a teaching tool since it is very easy for both the students and teachers to manage. It is very user friendly. It is very simple to manage the different subjects and place their work in the digital folders and it gets rid of the paper clutter! It is also an excellent way for the students to give each other descriptive feedback.

As an educator, I found this digital tool to be beneficial in building reflective learners who took the time to think through their work and monitor their own progress. I was able to also link specific standards to the work they uploaded to show student work samples as evidence of addressing and achieving specific standards. Finally, the student engagement while using this tool proved to be the greatest advantage of them all. Students were eager to use SeeSaw and share their work products with one another as well as comment or "like" each others work. This tool helped me become more reflective and mindful of my planning and pacing as an educator.

I think this is a great motivational tool for students and therefore a great teaching tool.
