Introduction for Teachers
What is Seesaw?
Seesaw empowers students of any age to
independently document what they are
learning at school.
Students capture learning with photos and
videos of physical work, or by adding digital
creations. Everything is uploaded and kept
organized for teachers.
Teachers can invite families to Seesaw so
parents get an immediate, personalized
window into their child's learning.

Empower Students to Document
What They’re Learning at School
When students add to their
Seesaw journal, content is
uploaded, organized by
student, and immediately
accessible to teachers from
any device and on the web.
Seesaw makes it easy for
students and teachers to
review progress over time
and demonstrate growth.
Collect and Organize Student Work
from Any Device
Browse work from the entire
class, or for a single student.
Optionally, use folders to
organize work by subject
area or project.
Teachers can flag items for
follow up or to review at
parent-teacher conferences.
Journals are Organized, Sortable and
Accessible
Seesaw helps capture the
learning process, not just the
end result.
Students can use Seesaw's
built-in audio recording and
drawing tools to reflect on
what they've learned or
explain how they got their
answer.
Encourage Student Reflection
Seesaw gives students an
authentic audience of their
peers and parents,
encouraging better work and
real feedback.
Teachers can control who can
see what, and what feedback
options are available.
Develop Authentic Audience
Teachers approve all student
journal entries and comments
before anything is shared with
parents.
Teachers can customize all of
the settings for their class,
like:
● Student sign in mode
● Can students like or
comment?
● Can students edit?
● Can students see each
other's work?
Teachers are Always in Control

by inviting them to view updates to their
child’s Seesaw journal.

language barriers.
