Week 7: Infused Classroom: Seesaw
Seesaw is a technology platform that teachers and students can use to demonstrate learning and increase engagement. Seesaw is a free app that allows students to display and share their thinking and/ or learning in creative ways.
Useful tools students can choose from:
Drawing Tool – Students can display their learning through writing or drawing.
Record Tool – Students can record themselves discussing and/or explaining their thoughts and reasoning regarding the skills they are learning.
Sharing – Students can share their thoughts and/ or finished work with other students. Student work can also be sent home to parents.
Students can use Seesaw to analyze, explain, and think critically about their learning. This is an engaging app that captures student knowledge in a variety of ways, which are ultimately based on student choice and learning preference. It encompasses all levels of the TPACK framework, and student products can meet different levels of the SAMR model according to need. All work can then be shared between teachers, students, and families.
Hi Kayla!
ReplyDeleteMy school started using Seesaw this year and I think you did a great job of summarizing it! If I was not already familiar with it I would have read your post and left with an understanding of Seesaw. I found it very helpful that you mentioned that it encompasses the TPACK framework and levels of the SAMR model also.
