Student Driven Digital Portfolios

Introduction for Teachers

What is Seesaw?
Seesaw empowers students of any age to
independently document what they are
learning at school.

Students capture learning with photos and

videos of physical work, or by adding digital
creations. Everything is uploaded and kept
organized for teachers.

Teachers can invite families to Seesaw so

parents get an immediate, personalized
window into their child's learning.

drawing tools to reflect on
what they've learned or
explain how they got their
answer.

peers and parents,
encouraging better work and
real feedback.

Teachers can control who can

see what, and what feedback
options are available.

journal entries and comments
before anything is shared with
parents.

comment?

other's work?
