Seesaw is a digital student portfolio that gives students an audience for their work. Students have the ability to create posts, drawings, audio recordings, and videos within the Seesaw program and they can also upload items created outside of Seesaw.
Once their post has been approved by their teacher, it will appear on the class news feed. Other students will have the ability to view and comment on any item that is added to the class stream. Seesaw also offers teachers and students a safe place to host a class blog.
Seesaw also offers the feature of allowing parents to request access to any work their child completes in their online portfolio. You can direct parents to this link to find out how to request access to their child's portfolio once your students have started publishing work inside of Seesaw.
