What is it?
Seesaw is a student-driven digital portfolio. Seesaw empowers students of any age to create, reflect, collaborate, and share. Invite families to Seesaw to keep them in the loop about their child’s learning, and easily communicate between school and home.
Who has access?
Seesaw is FREE for any teacher to create an account and use with their students. Plano ISD purchased premium licenses for Pre-K and Grades 1-5 only.
Why use Seesaw?
It is an excellent tool to help students explain their thinking in a variety of ways, use technology, and for the teacher to use that knowledge to help students make connections to the content. It works well on any platform (Chromebooks, PCs, mobile devices).
