Answer based on 89 reviews Features and Usability ### What are the key features of Seesaw? Seesaw includes core learning management features like assignments, activity dashboards, progress tracking, and student journals.

Answer based on 65 reviews Overview ### Is Seesaw good for remote learning? Seesaw works well for remote learning by keeping lessons, assignments, feedback, and family communication in one place. Elementary schools and primary teachers often find it kid-friendly for videos, voice recordings, photos, and submissions, though some parents want clearer organization and a few educators find it less feature-rich than broader learning platforms.

I love how I can send home a QR code at the beginning of the year and parents can instantly access their child's work. Pros I like the ease of use. I can search from a wide variety of lessons that are included in the library and easily assign it to my class. I also like how certain assignments can grade themselves. Cons I don't like how I can't see all my accounts on one homepage and I have to instead log into the accounts separately. I have a teacher account and my own children have their own class account. I would love to be able to toggle between accounts easier. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

The free option does not give enough options to make use worthwhile in the classroom. Pros I love the ability to assign my students personalized assignments to fit their individual needs! Cons I can no longer utilize all of the wonderful tools seesaw provides as they have taken away individual teacher memberships and increased costs to district memberships, which are entirely too expensive for an individual teacher to purchase. Thus leaving it in the hands of districts to decide whether seesaw is beneficial or not.
