Seesaw is a student driven digital portfolio designed for K12 classrooms. Seesaw empowers students of any age to independently document what they are learning at school. Students capture learning with photos and videos of physical work, or by adding digital creations. Everything is uploaded and kept organized for teachers.
Teachers can invite families to Seesaw so parents get an immediate, personalized window into their child's learning. Seesaw has been available for just over 6 months, and we’re humbled by the positive feedback from teachers. We’ve heard that students do better work now that they know their parents will see it immediately, and that parents who were never involved in the classroom are now participating via Seesaw. We’re thrilled to announce that students have added more than 500,000 itemsto their Seesaw journals so far.
