Seesaw
What is Seesaw?
Seesaw for Schools is a digital app-based platform that allows students, teachers, and parents or guardians to complete and share classroom work. As the company itself says, Seesaw is a platform for student engagement.
Using the Seesaw app, students can show what they know using various media, from photos and videos to drawings, text, links, and PDFs. This is all on the Seesaw platform, meaning it can be seen and appraised by teachers and even shared with parents and guardians.

Home Usage Advice and Best Practices
- Plan at least 20-30 minutes for each session. Students should complete at least 5 lessons per week.
- Since DreamBox is personalized to each learner based on their strategies and understanding, it’s important to let your child work through lessons within their own account.
- Use the Activity Feed in your Family Insight Dashboard to monitor you child’s progress. If they are stuck on a lesson, you can view it by hitting the ‘Play Lesson’ button and help guide them with a facilitated discussion. Try to avoid helping them directly in the student environment.
- Turn on closed captioning with lessons if it’s helpful.
