Upcoming District Training in Seesaw.
Wednesday, April 6, 2016
Learn all the things your students can do using Seesaw. Whether you are 1:1 or just have a single device in your class, Seesaw organizes your students’ digital work in one place. Students as young as five years of age are able to independently create and organize their work in a digital journal, develop their academic voice, and collaborate with classmates. Teachers are able to collaborate with other classes and share what they are learning through Seesaw's class blogs. Seesaw also facilitates parent communication with real-time notifications, allowing them a glimpse of their child’s day.
