Opiniones de Seesaw

Schools are a black box for most parents. Seesaw allows them to see what's happening in class, almost as it happens, and give praise and feedback now hat they see (if we allow). Evidencing all those little things that otherwise aren't written down is easy.

The video uploading can be flakey, especially from iPad.

My child's preschool uses this program to communicate to parents both as a class setting and also individual communications between myself and the teachers. I appreciate that I can directly communicate to my child's teachers. The teachers also post pictures and things that they are doing in class - some posts just for me for privacy and others that are for the class! I love that I can "be a part of the classroom" so to say :)

The app itself is somewhat "clunky." The organization of the program is poor and you can see that you have notifications, but you have to click around to find out where the new items are. At times, I cannot get the push notifications to clear from my phone and most recently, I stopped getting any notifications at all even though my settings are set to allow them!

Seesaw is an educational software that rockets student learning to the highest level. As a teacher, the platform offers streamlined instruction, progress, and endless collaboration opportunities!

I don’t like that the messaging between students and parents isn’t there.

Seesaw is a great learning tool. Students have a portfolio that they continue to create over they elementary years. It is easy for students to access and share their work. It is a safe way to share information with parents. and keep a digital copy of students learning growth over the years. It is helpful that parents only get to see their child's work to protect the privacy of the rest of the classroom.

The stream is challenging to navigate it would be better if there could be tabs of folders to keep things organized. It is babyish for older students. although advertised, it is not really usable with middle and high school students.

I like that I can see specific lessons that my son has worked on, there are student journals and daily check-ins that give you a snapshot of what he was working on that day. If he has multiple classes he has a journal for each class.

I didn't like that you're at the mercy of the teacher, digital classes aren't uploaded unless the teacher uploads them and sends them out. As a result, I only received a few lessons and didn't really get as much interaction as I had hoped for at the beginning of the school year.

What I liked the most about this tool is that it allowed my students to creatively share their work, projects, and reflections through a variety of formats, such as images, videos, and files to me to improve communication with them. Another thing that I liked is that as a teacher I was able to provide immediate and personalized feedback through comments and digital evaluations, which encourages more effective and collaborative learning and finally, another utility of this tool is its integration with other tools for creating of digital portfolios and the possibility of involving parents in the educational process.

The only bad thing I have noticed from time to time is that the platform often has technical issues, such as loading delays or data sync errors, which can be frustrating for students and educators.

I really like how easy it is to use Seesaw for assigning work on e-Learning days. The activities that Seesaw has in their library is great. I usually am able to find an activity that is already created in the library. If I do create an activity on my own, the process is super simple. I like the ability to upload PDF's, photos, and URL links seamlessly to an activity.The student journal and activity dashboard is very well organized. I like being able to see how many students have completed an activity. I also like the ability to "send back" an activity if a student doesn't complete it correctly.

I would love to have a way to connect the grading to an existing grading software (powerschool, sycamore, etc.).

I am able to follow up on what the assignments are and whether or not my child had submitted the homework. I can see the teacher's comments about this too.

It is strangely set out. Sometimes you find information in the "home" section, sometimes in the "journal" section and sometimes in the inbox section and sometimes not at all! Teachers will say they have posted something, some of the kids will receive it and some not. I genuinely do not know if this is a software issue or user issue.
I was not happy that I could not directly message the teacher, especially in an emergency to say that the child was locked out of the online system, or chromebook had glitched or whatever. I feel that the software is "bitty" as though they had several good ideas and threw them together but that those ideas dont particularly communicate with each other. If the teacher had not messaged the child in the inbox then you would not be able to communicate with them. The organisation of the material is kind of chaotic. It would be better had things be arranged in folders rather than one long feed of assignments and uploaded student work. The only way that my child who was 8 and using this could upload his material was to use his camera on the chromebook to take a picture of the work as he held it up.... I can't imagine how frustrating that must have been for the teachers.

Love Seesaw for managing homeschooling for my primary school children. In particular, I love that my children are gaining a simple and easy introduction to 'collaborative working'. This is thanks to Seesaw's great interface, alerting tools, and managament overview tools (brilliant for 'helicopter parenting', where we can see multiple children (all ours) from the single interface & login).

There's not much that i don't like about Seesaw, but small issues such as clicking 'document hyperlinks' on certain devices (Amazon Fire Tablets) doesn't seem to work (thus have to copy the link on another device, and email it to the Amazon Fire device). But small issues such as this does not detract from what is a fantastic collaboration platform for Teachers, Children, and Parents! Thank you SeeSaw.

How easy it is to download and use. Very user friendly.

I wish when you went to download a picture- it let you download just one and not the whole series of photos.

I love the easy to use inbox and journal features for my student. The software is easy to use and has simple, concise graphics- very asthetically pleasing.

I can't figure out how to delete past info.
