Seesaw
This presentation was done by Sarah and Jesse. They did
their presentation on the digital portfolio tool Seesaw. Seesaw is a digital
portfolio tool that is student driven. It engages students as well as parents
and bridges the communication gap between teachers and parents. It allows parents
to see what their children are doing in school by showing them videos, work samples,
pictures of their child’s school work. How Seesaw works is that students can
take videos or pictures of their work and upload it to their digital portfolio.
The teacher can see the students’ work as well as the parents of the student.
The teacher can also assign work directly into the tool for the students to
complete in class. One of my favorite parts about this digital portfolio tool
is that the parents of the student can give feedback to their child when they
upload something new to their portfolio. The parents can receive a notification
from the app that tells them that their child has uploaded something into their
portfolio. The parents can then log onto the app and see what their child has uploaded
and give them feedback. I love this because it gets the parents involved in
their child’s life at school. This app is for parents, teachers, and students.
It is a great reflection tool for teachers and students. This app addresses 21st
Century skills such as technology literature, initiative, critical thinking,
and creativity. There is a pro version of this app and with the pro version the
standards are integrated into the app for when the teacher gives students
assignments in the app. Within the app, the teacher can also make folders for
the students work and make the work more accessible in the digital portfolio. I
really enjoyed this presentation and want to implement this app in my future classroom.
