What is Seesaw?
Seesaw is a platform for student engagement. Teachers can empower students to create, reflect, share, and collaborate. Students “show what they know” using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. It’s simple to get students work in one place and share with families. We also use it to share home learning between home and school.
Children's journals look like this when they are logged in:

How do I use Seesaw as a Parent?
Seesaw say:
Seesaw is a digital student portfolio that gives students an audience for their work! It gives families a window into what's going on every day in their child's classroom.
Families get notified when there are new posts in their student's journal. They can view posts and add likes and comments.
Seesaw requires an invite from your child's teacher in order to sign up. If you do not have an invite QR code or link, contact the school office. Up to 10 family members can connect to one child's journal.
View our brief videos to learn how to log in, connect to your child's journal, engage with their learning, and message with their teacher.
Using your Seesaw Family account, Seesaw will look like this:
Families only have access to their child’s journal. This means you will see student work tagged with your child’s name and posts the teacher tags with 'Everyone'.
Family members cannot access any other student’s content unless you have added another child in your family to your account.
What is Seesaw used for in School?
We use Seesaw to share a selection of our fabulous learning at school.
