Tech Tip: Confer in Seesaw
In Seesaw, create folders for Reading, Writing and Math. While you're conferring with students try recording your conference in Seesaw. This will create digital portfolio for that student that has data of how they have been doing in that subject. This is great data to share with the parents.
How to add and use folders in Seesaw
Ideas:
Reading:
Take a picture of the page and record their voice reading. Play it back to them, so that they can hear what they sound like. See if they notice anything they missed.
Take a video of the students reading if there are multiple pages. Feel free to leave any feedback that you give the student in the video. This allows the student and the parent to hear it back.
Writing:
Take a picture each week of something that the student is writing. It could even be part of a longer writing piece. This will show their growth.
Have students take a picture of their writing and then record themselves reading their writing. This will help them practice with enunciation, tone, inflection.
Math:
Have students take a video or picture of their math problem. Have students record their math reasoning.
Have other students watch each other's math reasoning, so they can see other strategies.
Management tips:
1:1 device users: Have students bring their iPad with them and open up Seesaw. They will automatically be logged in, so then you can just record.
Non 1:1 device users: Use the ios app on your iPhone to record students. Easily select the student you want tagged in the post.
