SeeSaw is a parent favorite.
SeeSaw is a free digital portfolio. It is super easy to do. You can include images, videos, and files. It can be done with one iPad very easily. It would be great for PreK and up. It can be as simple as sharing pictures from a field trip, a video of a presentation, or a collection of their writing through the year. It is completely private. Each parent only gets access to their child's portfolio. SeeSaw is an app you all need to check out.
