Ready to see Seesaw in action?
The slideshow below shows some of the posts that my students made using Seesaw. I put them roughly in order of when they were uploaded, so you can see the progression from simple to more complex posts (including App-Smashing)! Each post is unedited by me, so you are seeing the real deal here. This is 100% authentic student work. There are SO many awesome examples I could share with you, but this should give you some new ideas and spark your imagination for ways you might use Seesaw with your students. A lot of these slides are videos, so don't forget to press play to see and hear the students in action.
Creating AssignmentsAlthough I love giving students choice in the ways they show their knowledge, I wanted to create structure when first introducing Seesaw. For that reason, I created mini Seesaw task cards that students completed weekly. I simply created a word document where I gave brief instructions on that week's assignment. I printed six copies per page, printed, cut them out, and put them in a little basket next to our classroom iPads. Every Monday, I swapped them out with a new assignment. Initial assignments were done in partners so they could support each other in navigating through Seesaw's interface. We started with taking pictures and recording audio. A few months later, students were recording themselves giving speeches. By the end of the year, they were creating content on other apps such as ChatterPix or DoInk, then uploading their own content to Seesaw! Once I started using Seesaw with my students, not a single day went by where we didn't use it. Click here to download some free editable examples of task cards from my TeachersPayTeachers page. |

Seesaw Poster I also posted this simple poster on the wall to remind students that they have three responsibilities each time they log in. First, they must complete that week's assignment. Second, they need to respond to any of my comments and questions that I might have left on their previous work. Third, they should give feedback to at least two other student's work. This third step was only introduced after students were comfortable using Seesaw.
