Seesaw

Great Elementary Learning Platform

Comentarios: We have found Seesaw to be a comprehensive Learning Hub.

Puntos a favor:

We use Seesaw in elementary (K-4) as our main learning platform. We started using it during the pandemic for remote learning, but we continue to use it now that students are back on site because it provides easy communication with students and families, create assignments, and curate student work. It is easy to use and the company offers great training, resources and support. They are also very responsive to user suggestions and requests.

Puntos en contra:

There is no file structure for shared lessons in the shared libraries. It is strictly a subject and/or grade level search. The frequent negative feedback I get from teachers is that they wish they could see folders by subject and grade level. Also, the drawing and other creation tools are very basic and could use some updating.

Great tool for parents and students

Comentarios: Great tool for both teachers and families

Seesaw is a great learning tool. Students have a portfolio that they continue to create over they elementary years. It is easy for students to access and share their work. It is a safe way to share information with parents. and keep a digital copy of students learning growth over the years. It is helpful that parents only get to see their child's work to protect the privacy of the rest of the classroom.

Puntos en contra:

The stream is challenging to navigate it would be better if there could be tabs of folders to keep things organized. It is babyish for older students. although advertised, it is not really usable with middle and high school students.

great app for schools

Puntos a favor:

i had this app from my daughter's school. Each day teacher used to send her pictures, what they did and all the announcements. It was great and very useful.

Puntos en contra:

Sometimes it was a bit confusing to check the announcements other then that everything is great.

It gets the job done, but is not very user friendly...

Comentarios: This program is great in that I can be informed of what's going on with my child's preschool, and I love that! I do wish there was a way to keep me connected to my child's schooling but be a little more user friendly though! It gets the job done but gets a little annoying along the way.

Puntos a favor:

My child's preschool uses this program to communicate to parents both as a class setting and also individual communications between myself and the teachers. I appreciate that I can directly communicate to my child's teachers. The teachers also post pictures and things that they are doing in class - some posts just for me for privacy and others that are for the class! I love that I can "be a part of the classroom" so to say :)

Puntos en contra:

The app itself is somewhat "clunky." The organization of the program is poor and you can see that you have notifications, but you have to click around to find out where the new items are. At times, I cannot get the push notifications to clear from my phone and most recently, I stopped getting any notifications at all even though my settings are set to allow them!

Great for elementary

Comentarios: Seesaw is a fantastic way to keep students and parents engaged.

I loved how easy it was for students to access Seesaw on their own, especially during remote learning. It’s also a great way to keep families in the loop because of the messaging system. Having the activity library is another great feature. We could easily find activities to use as is or change to fit our needs. Being able to save them and organize them within our personal library is very helpful too.

Puntos en contra:

It’s clunky to add links and pictures/video lessons within a lesson/activity, but once you get the hang of it, it is definitely worth it.
