Seesaw
Seesaw is the best invention and easiest way to communicate to families in our child care centre. Families enjoy it and think it is wonderful and it is very convenient.

Activities
It would be cool to be able to upload an activity response to more than one child because they often work on activities together.Ann Chen👩🌸💐🌷🌹🏆🥇🏅
Best Ever!!
I teach 1st grade, and I love the way that Seesaw allows my students and me to share what is happening in our classroom. My students are able to record their voices, take pictures of their work, and share their thinking with me and with their families via Seesaw. It is also a really fast way for me to communicate with parents. I use Seesaw to send out my weekly class newsletter and to send out last minute announcements, as well. Great way for teachers, parents, and students to stay connected! Also, it is a great place for teachers to share things with each other. I use so many assignments from the community of teachers on Seesaw to advance the thinking and learning in my classroom. The only thing I wish were different about Seesaw is I wish I were able to assign things just to certain students instead of to the whole class. It would help me differentiate my assignments better. Maybe there’s a way to do that and I just haven’t figured it out yet... 🤷♀️ Not sure. But overall, Seesaw has been such a neat tool and resource for my classroom!Show lessC.Oleru
Teacher approved Parents begging for more
I looooooooove using seesaw in my first grade classroom. I use this app as a communication tool between myself and the students families. The kids and I love making videos of our learning to send home to families and I take pictures a couple times a week to show families what we are doing in the classroom. I also love how I can send reminder messages to the entire classroom , just the families, or individual families when I need to. It is so easy for parents to use and they are always begging for more. I can not imagine not having seesaw in my classroom and love how easy it has made the school home connection.Show lessMommycam
THIS UPDATE IS THE WORST
I don’t know who thought it would be a good idea to make students have to sign in and out of their “student account” every time they log in (instead of when they are ready to post) because it is the most INCONVENIENT thing ever. When I have multiple students doing an activity they need to go back and forth to the QR poster, sign out and sign in just to be able to post. We were able to hand off the iPad before. Horrible.
Also with the update, you are not able to go back and add drawing to your post once you have recorded. An example of this would be that we do fluency passages. The students record themselves reading, listen to their recording and rate how they read. Now after your record you can’t do anything else besides submit it.
Love seesaw. Hate this update. Please fix these things ASAP for teachers sanity.Show lessKelsie.Kilber
Amazing app for the classroom, but...
I love everything about See Saw as a teacher, however they have made a change in that when I try and share a picture from my phone with my student’s parent (via the app), it no longer allows me to add a simple caption below the photo. This is important as I need to be able to give a brief explanation to the parent as to what is occurring. Rather, when I select the photo(s) from my phone’s camera roll to share, the app only lets me select the student’s name/family to share with, but then immediately posts the picture before I am given a chance to add a caption. This never used to happen last school year. Please, developers, make the fix to change it back to allow adding captions from my phone app. Thank you!Show lessDerek Smalls On Bass
Notifications
I am unable to access my notifications! They just keep piling up and I am missing assignments from my teacher. I have over 60 notifications that I’ve never seen! I have to ask my friends for the assignments.#PenguinMe
Not so great

Fantastic but in need of an update
I am in year 5 and almost in year 6. I have been using seesaw since the start of year 4 and it had been an excellent way to display our work and to just have a bit of fun.
It has come to my attention many times that seesaw should have notifications when someone posts a post on seesaw.
Otherwise this is a fantastic app and I 100% recommend it for any classroom. I hope this is included in a future update.Show lessETI-10
The BEST app for primary grades!
I have always had two problems with independent work in my first grade class: I can’t check up on them without having them hand in a worksheet, and I can’t always be there to give them directions again in case they forget, especially during centers. This app solves both those problems!! I can be at home on my couch checking their independent center work, I can record and write directions so that children of all ability levels can understand what to do, and I can turn just about any assignment into an authentic assessment instantly! Could not love this app more!!Show lessAidnduqodn
