We have been making the rounds during our Lunch and Learn to talk about the power of #booksnaps. One idea that has plagued classrooms since the beginning of time is getting kids to share what they are doing with their classmates. Experiencing what our peers create is key to thinking about our own work and serves to push us to think from a different point of view.
Any time we place work online it tends to make it much easier to see but it can offer barriers if it can't be accessed quickly.
Did you know that within Seesaw there is a hidden little feature that can make the work the students created super visible?
What if you could pin up a few exemplars for the class to discover on their own?
Check out how to bring this idea to life.
Teacher
Log into your Seesaw account on your laptop.
Find the post you want to use as the exemplar.
1. Click the three dots in the lower right corner.
2. Click Get item QR code.
Print and post the QR code.
Student
Student logs into Seesaw on iPad or laptop.
1. Click their name in the upper left corner.
2. Clicks Scan QR Code at bottom.
Once they line up the code that post will appear.
The power of discovery is now in the hands of the students.
I wonder what might happen if you posted a few things at a station/center. I wonder if there are things your students do that would help explain ideas and concepts in such a way that it reaches some of the kids you have troubles reaching?
