Your students have the ability to share their work in this portfolio. You must approve the items before they are uploaded. The sky is the limit regarding what the students can put in their portfolio. For example, they can take a picture of their latest creation- writing sample, art work, structure etc. in the classroom and add it to their portfolio. They could even upload a video they created in another app such as iMovie, Chatterkid or Tellagami. Within the app, students can create and add their own photographs, videos, drawings, notes, links and files from their Google Drive.
There are several creative tools available for your students in Seesaw. Perhaps you want to capture each student's knowledge of the life cycle of the plant. You could have them draw the life cycle using the drawing tools in Seesaw. You could even have them create a video in which they narrate the life cycle. There are so many options.
Let's talk about why I LOVE Seesaw.
Student work is uploaded, organized and available to teachers from any device or computer. |
Students document learning through photos, videos, drawings, text notes, links and PDFs. |
3. A Genuine Audience- Students are able to share their work with classmates and with their parents. This gives students an audience and encourages them to take pride in their work. There are so many times we have students create something, but we don't give them the opportunity to share their creations. Seesaw make this simple!
Parents can only see their child's work |
5. The DRAWING Feature- I especially love that within the drawing feature students can annotate over photos! Imagine the diagrams they can create! They also have the ability to record their annotations! AWESOME!
I'm also excited to share some awesome Seesaw resources with you to help you get started!
