Seesaw

This week was an exciting week in my classroom! I introduced a new (to us) app to my students called Seesaw and they loved it! Seesaw is a student driven portfolio app that encourages student engagement. Seesaw has a very large activity library available to teachers grades PK-12 in many different subject area and topics. The first thing I had my students do was an activity where they got to take a picture of themselves with the camera on their computer and then write words that described themselves to place around the picture. The directions on the program led the kids through the activity. I have assigned them several different math activities since, and they can’t wait to do the work each day! Since seesaw is online, it is so much more fun for them than doing a worksheet! The fact that it provides me with so many activities helps me with prep time! If I can’t find an activity that I feel is appropriate for my students, I can create one for the activity bank! The most exciting thing about Seesaw is, it is free for teachers!
