Seesaw is a student-driven digital portfolio.

Seesaw is a student-driven digital portfolio. Seesaw empowers students of any age to create, reflect, collaborate and share. Invite families to Seesaw to keep them in the loop about their child's learning, and easily communicate between school and home. Used in over 200, 000 classrooms, 1 in 4 schools in the US, and over 100 countries. Named Best Website of 2016 by American Association of School Librarians, Top Pick for Education 2016 by Common Sense Media, Richard Byrne's Free Tech for Teachers, and featured in by Apple as "Perfect for Every Classroom". WHAT IS SEESAW? For students, Seesaw helps them see their own growth and provides an audience for their work - whether that be peers, parents, or the world at large. For families, Seesaw gives an immediate, personalized window into their child's day so they can support learning at home. For teachers, Seesaw saves time on organization and communication, makes formative assessment easy, and provides a safe place to teach digital citizenship skills. FEATURES: Capture Student Learning in Any Form. Built-in content creation tools, including photo, video, recordable whiteboard, drawing, voice recorder, web link and PDF. Compatible with 100s of other apps, including Apple and Google apps. Teachers can browse work from the entire class or for a single student. Use folders to organize work by subject area, project, or curriculum objective. Sign In Options that Work for All Ages. QR code sign in for young learners or shared device classrooms. Email or Google sign in for older students. Encourage Student Reflection. Seesaw helps capture the learning process, not just the end result. Students use built-in audio recording, drawing and labeling tools to reflect on what they've learned or explain how they got their answer. Teachers can control who can see what, and what feedback options are available, including likes and comments. Invite Families. Include families in the learning process by inviting them to view updates to their child's Seesaw journal. Seesaw's immediate, visual updates actually get seen by parents, provide encouragement for students, and cross language barriers. Teachers approve all new additions and comments before anything is shared. Translate notes, comments and captions into 50+ languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese and more. Seesaw Blogs. Create a public webpage for your class. Give students a global audience for their work. Post to the class blog in just one tap. No other apps, websites or embed codes needed. All posts are teacher-moderated. Connect to other class blogs directly within Seesaw so students can comment and collaborate with students from all over the world. Teacher Resource Center.
