Recently I discovered Seesaw! Up until then, my Year 2 students had created amazing work with their iPads but I had not ventured down the path of social sharing. I want my students to be digitally literate to prepare them for their future and Seesaw is how I am introducing them to this.

 

Here are the reasons why I like Seesaw:

• It is easy to use.
• Students’ posts require teacher authorisation prior to going live.
• Any posts that are inappropriate can be declined and deleted.
• Students are learning to engage in social networking in a safe and strictly monitored way.
• It is a closed group.
• Seesaw can be used at school and home allowing students to collaborate outside of school hours.

Some ideas:

• Upload images as a stimulus prior to learning.
• Uploading documents for students to download prior to class.

• Class reminders.
• Students uploading completed tasks that I can check later and provide feedback on.
• Students uploading work for others to review and give feedback.

Give it a go!
