[CASL-L] SeeSaw app

[Torrie Phillips]

Hello,

My principal is interested in me introducing the SeeSaw app to teachers.  It is a free, online learning journal where students can upload their work into a portfolio using a QR code and it gets shared with the teacher and then to their parents via email after each submission.  Students can upload a link, picture, explain a project or new learning with voice recordings, etc.  A great way to share your work without passing home tons of papers, integrating technology and meet listening and speaking standards.  It makes a portfolio you can share at conferences and gives families great talking points about student work that they view via email.

Are any of your schools using SeeSaw with success?  Any feedback, positive or negative, to share before I present this to all staff?  I started by mentioning this to one teacher per grade level to ask if they'd like to pilot it with one student in their classes with my support.  The overall response I got was this seems like "one more thing to do."  Therefore, I thought I'd start with my own 2 children (grades K and 2) as a test, but have never used it.    Worried my presentation may be a flop if that's the overall feeling so would love some motivation from my peers!

FYI, I'll be starting this in my K-2 school first but grades 3-5 will also get a chance to try it.  Thanks!
