Jeff sits down with Carl and Zack from Seesaw to discuss how students are creating digital portfolios in grades K-3 using their iPads and digital creativity.
About Seesaw
Seesaw is a student-driven digital portfolio that empowers students as young as 5 to showcase what they are learning at school. Seesaw seamlessly organizes students’ digital and physical work in one place, making it easy for teachers to refer back to for assessment or parent-teacher conferences. Seesaw also facilitates parent communication with real-time notifications, giving parents a glimpse of their child’s day and an opportunity to support learning at home.
