Seesaw is a digital student portfolio that gives students an audience for their work. It gives families a window into what's going on every day in their child's classroom.
Students add posts to their journals. Student posts showcase the creative projects they've been working on in the classroom. This could include photos, artwork, videos, activities, notes, projects they've created in other apps, and more.
Families get notified when there are new posts in their student's journal. They can view posts and add likes and comments.
NOTE: Seesaw requires an invite from your child's teacher in order to sign up. If you do not have an invite QR code or link, contact your child's teacher. Up to 10 family members can connect to one child's journal.
