When students learn in a classroom, it can sometimes be hard for them to show what they know. As a result, they get confused, teachers struggle to grade them and parents are not up to speed on what their child has and has not grasped, hindering at-home learning. That is where the Seesaw app makes it easy. Students can demonstrate what they know and gain self confidence, which, in turn, helps their support network gain insights about how to best support them. Read on for some reasons why it is worth it to download Seesaw. With Seesaw, students can show, reflect and demonstrate what they have learned thus far, thanks to an online portfolio. Teachers who swear by the Seesaw app claim their students have felt more engaged with their learning and have an increased sense of pride since starting to use it. Teachers can see what each child knows to tailor their teaching plans, and parents and guardians can see progress and leave motivating comments for students to see as they complete their work.
