WHAT CAN

SEESAW DO
FOR OUR
STUDENTS?
 Seesaw will
enhance learner
motivation and
engagement by
allowing students to
show their work
through text, pictures,
videos, drawings, and
more.
When using Seesaw teachers, parents, and students can
provide feedback on assignments.
Within Seesaw student work can be easily found in one convenient
location and shared with others using Google apps and blogs. This
boosts collaboration in and outside of school.
 Seesaw
allows for
teachers to
implement
the following
