SEESAW
This is my last entry. The next digital tool I’m gonna share
is Seesaw. The learning journal provides
opportunities for students and teachers to really think outside the box.
Students can show their work and thought processes in real time by submitting a
video of themselves working through a math problem, snapping a picture of a paragraph
they wrote, recording themselves reading a poem, or uploading a file to demonstrate
their learning. Encourage kids to submit a series of images along the notes
that tell the story that connects them. Let them collaborate with each other
using peer-to-peer feedback to offer suggestions on writing content, scientific
hypotheses, or creative ideas.

Teachers can use Seesaw to keep digital portfolios of student
work ; including commenting on student submissions. You can communicate with
families easily and share student work with them or push out assignments to
students to individualize instruction. You can also choose work to share with a
broader audience via blog.
Seesaw also was used a mean for communication between students
who often shared photos of class notes or even exciting extracurricular events
outside of school with one another. The uploaded of documents from Google Drive
took time and practice for my middle school students. Parents also enjoyed
being part of the Seesaw and receiving updates of their child’s progress and
activity throughout the week
Pros

Cons
|
Both students and teacher interfaces are intuitive, and there are
tons of ideas up for grabs in the Activity Library
|
In the paid skills feature, skills and standards must be manually
entered
|
This digital tool to be beneficial in building reflective
learners who took the time to think through their work and monitor their own progress.
The students engagement while using this tool proved to be greatest advantage
off them all. Students will like to use Seesaw and share their work products
with one another as well as comment each other’s work. This tool also helps
become more reflective and mindful of planning and pacing as educator.
Until then, THANKYOUUUUUU
