What is Seesaw?
Seesaw is a student created digital portfolios. Whatever they create can be shared with staff, peers and parents in a flash. It is wicked easy for the students to use without a lot of instruction. Some are using it as a digital thinking notebook incorporating images, video, voice and drawing.
Why Seesaw?
- It works very well with BYOD and district devices.

- It might be the easiest tool ever invented that allows students to show what they know.
- A very easy way for you and the students to keep a record of what they created throughout the year.
