3 Ways to Use Seesaw
Seesaw for Feedback and Reflection
Some teachers use Seesaw primarily as a place for students to share their work, and specifically encourage individual reflection and peer feedback. Seesaw becomes a place not only where student work can be stored, but where teachers and peers can provide encouragement, constructive criticism, and suggestions for improvement. An authentic audience of peers can encourage students to do their best work. Teachers have the opportunity to review any comments before they are posted to ensure that feedback is constructive & appropriate. |
Seesaw for Assignments & Assessment
Some teachers choose to use Seesaw in a more private way, where they can do student assessment, collect work, and give direct private feedback to students. You can even push assignments to students for them to complete and turn in via Seesaw. This makes Seesaw primarily a place where students and teachers can interact around their work. |
Seesaw for Parent Engagement
For other teachers, Seesaw is primarily used a way to communicate with parents and keep them in the loop on the learning their child is doing at school. Students add items to Seesaw that they are proud of in a self directed way, as well as work their teacher has assigned. Teachers report that students are motivated to do better work when they know their parents will provide immediate feedback during the day or ask them about it that evening. |
