Seesaw

Provides a direct line of communication with my son's teacher

Puntos a favor:

I receive updates all day long in real-time regarding my son's progress and classroom activity Together my son and I can access his assignments anytime to correct and resubmit

Puntos en contra:

It's sometimes difficult to navigate. We were not given training on the software, so occasionally I have to fumble around to find the options I need to use

Great tool for parents and students

Comentarios: Great tool for both teachers and families

Puntos a favor:

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.

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!

Excellent for parental engagement

Comentarios: It's excellent, and has allowed us to bring parents into the classroom experience. It has also helped massively with remote learning. Products like Teams are too advanced for out primary aged children. Seesaw has the perfect level of communication and interaction, along with the ability to create, submit and feedback on pupil work.

Puntos a favor:

Schools are a black box for most parents. Seesaw allows them to see what's happening in class, almost as it happens, and give praise and feedback now hat they see (if we allow). Evidencing all those little things that otherwise aren't written down is easy.

Puntos en contra:

The video uploading can be flakey, especially from iPad.

Seesaw into Innovation!

Comentarios: Seesaw will tie together any educational needs. Do not think twice about giving them a try!

Puntos a favor:

Seesaw is an educational software that rockets student learning to the highest level. As a teacher, the platform offers streamlined instruction, progress, and endless collaboration opportunities!

Puntos en contra:

I don’t like that the messaging between students and parents isn’t there.
