Seesaw Introduction

Dear Parents,

I’m very excited to inform you that your child will be using an online learning journal called Seesaw this year in the Makerspace and in their classroom. Seesaw is a web-based application that allows students to document their learning in a secure way that only the teachers and students within a class can access. Students can show what they know through photos of their work, links, PDFs, drawings, and text. Seesaw makes it easy for students, teachers, and parents to review growth over time. It is very much like a digital portfolio.

Seesaw works across all platforms, including Chromebooks and iPads. If your child is in a K-2 class, then their teacher will create the student account. In grades 3-5, students will sign in through their SAU 16 Google account. Seesaw takes protecting student security and privacy seriously and has taken the Student Privacy Pledge.

Below you will find some additional links to learn more. If you have any questions, let me know. I can be reached at sgagnon@sau16.org.
