Seesaw

Seesaw is a digital tool that allows students to create a portfolio in which they can use text, video, drawings, and other methods to document their learning. Once an account is set up by the teacher, students are then added to the class. The teacher can post assignments from the Seesaw library, or assignments can be created by the teacher. Once the assignment is completed, the student submits the assignment for approval. The teacher receives notification of a pending post and can choose to approve it or not. After approval, it is then a part of the student's portfolio which can be seen by the student's parents. This is a great way to share what the students are learning in school and parents are able to see the work their student is doing.

Seesaw would be a great tool to use for 21st Century learning and assessment. 21st Century learning is centered around the student, and Seesaw provides students that opportunity to take ownership of their own learning. They use critical thinking skills to solve problems and reflect on their learning. Also, Seesaw allows students to collaborate together, which is another component of the 21st Century classroom.
