My Take
Excellent tool. I loved how easily portfolios were shared to parents and the privacy settings could be adjusted. Being able to store files in individual folders (Art, math, PE) made it easy to store and retrieve files. Parents comments and 'likes' was appreciated as was being able to post videos however learners needed some guidance on file size. Its a tool where learners can be independent and use with little teacher guidance once shown a few times.
How I Use It
Students easily were able to take a photo of their work and record their reflections of write them down with ease. We used SeeSaw as our online portfolio for Grade 3.
