- Photo--Submit a photograph of your classroom or yourself.
- Video--Shoot some video. Give us a tour of your classroom, introduce us to a friend. Be creative! Be sure to narrate as you record.
- Drawing--Using the drawing tool, draw us a picture, work out a math problem. Again, be creative! Be sure to use at least five colors and add lots of details. You can narrate as you illustrate. This is an awesome feature of the Seesaw drawing tool!
- Camera Roll--Take a selfie and turn it in! Bonus: figure out how to add audio to this image.
HOW DO I "TURN-IN" each item?
- After completing a task, tap on the green circle that contains a white check mark in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
- You will eventually see a list of names. Find your name and make sure a green circle with a white check-mark appears. That is the "submit" button. It also gives option prior to final submission.
- Tap on the green circle in the upper right-hand corner one more time to complete the turn in process.
