December 5, 2022 4.0 I have used SeeSaw as a parent with a child in school and as an admin. As an admin, it's alright. It is difficult to pull things up sometimes and you have to know how you want things to go out but as a parent I liked it allot! Pros I like that it is well known, a free app for parents, and that it gives a great avenue to keep parents up to date. Cons I don't like that it seems to have software kinks and isn't totally user friendly on the admin side. I wish it had a better look and that you could have an admin log in on the app. Reason for choosing Seesaw I did not. I inherited that decision at work. Review Source KR Katie R.

I use to give my students practice assignments everyday and test their learning. Pros I like the ability to communicate with parents easily and the assessment feature is amazing! Cons I love all aspects! However, I would like our current reading program, Wonders, to sync with Seesaw automatically. Switched from [ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) Seesaw has more features like the ability to use assessments that grade automatically and it is way more user friendly.

Can easily search what you are looking for. Cons Some functions are for difficult for student to drag objects. Review Source JF Justine F. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seesaw into Innovation!" June 3, 2022 5.0 Seesaw will tie together any educational needs. Do not think twice about giving them a try! Pros 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! Cons I don’t like that the messaging between students and parents isn’t there. Alternatives considered [ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) Reason for choosing Seesaw Seesaw puts forth differentiation, student voice, and innovation in learning. The opportunities are endless! Switched from [Google Classroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/186631/Google-Classroom/)[Edpuzzle](https://www.capterra.com/p/229864/Edpuzzle/)[ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) We made the switch from ClassDojo in order to mainstream learning in one platform. Seesaw offers activities,collaboration, and organization for education.

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. Cons 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. Alternatives considered [ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) Reason for choosing Seesaw Seesaw had better features. Switched from [ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) Simple, easy to use and it had the learning activities that were very useful during the pandemic lockdown.

Pros I loved how easy it was for students to access Seesaw on their own, especially during remote learning. It’s also a great way to keep families in the loop because of the messaging system. Having the activity library is another great feature. We could easily find activities to use as is or change to fit our needs. Being able to save them and organize them within our personal library is very helpful too. Cons It’s clunky to add links and pictures/video lessons within a lesson/activity, but once you get the hang of it, it is definitely worth it. Switched from [Google Classroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/186631/Google-Classroom/) Our school required that we use Seesaw for K-2. Review Source BH Ben H. Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent for parental engagement" February 6, 2023 5.0 It's excellent, and has allowed us to bring parents into the classroom experience. It has also helped massively with remote learning. Products like Teams are too advanced for out primary aged children. Seesaw has the perfect level of communication and interaction, along with the ability to create, submit and feedback on pupil work. Pros 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. Cons The video uploading can be flakey, especially from iPad. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/)[Showbie](https://www.capterra.com/p/170007/Showbie/) Reason for choosing Seesaw The ease of use for our children, and the ease of management oversight.

The user experience feedback from teachers, students and parents has been overwhelmingly positive. Pros At the school at which I am employed, Seesaw has allowed for a smooth transition from a classroom-based, face-to-face delivery of material to a remote, home-based, online learning situation. It gives teachers the ability to take attendance, communicate with parents as well as students, post materials for students to complete online and for teachers to make corrections and return work to students. The interface is very student-friendly and clearly lists work that needs to be completed as well as collating completed work into an online portfolio for students and families to refer back to. The platform allows teachers to incorporate audio and visual materials such as photos, audio clips and videos into online lessons which helps to offer engaging study materials for students. Teachers can upload existing documents or create totally new ones. Seesaw allows teachers to store the lessons they have created and offers a library of existing lesson materials also. Seesaw offers a very well developed and supportive training program for teachers. Trainers are very positive and offer many practical ways to best use the platform. Cons There are a few issues that surface when you use the platform to correct and return student work, such as the way that teachers are lead around in several steps (that could be reduced) to write on (by editing), make comment on (in the text box section under tasks) and return student work. This does not impact what is seen by students when the work is returned, but is something that could be addressed by programmers to make it more efficient to use as an educator.

Usually quickly respond Cons Not enough information about the calendar of the events for their studies Review Source Christine G. Instructional Technologist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Elementary Learning Platform" October 8, 2021 5.0 We have found Seesaw to be a comprehensive Learning Hub. Pros We use Seesaw in elementary (K-4) as our main learning platform. We started using it during the pandemic for remote learning, but we continue to use it now that students are back on site because it provides easy communication with students and families, create assignments, and curate student work. It is easy to use and the company offers great training, resources and support. They are also very responsive to user suggestions and requests. Cons There is no file structure for shared lessons in the shared libraries. It is strictly a subject and/or grade level search. The frequent negative feedback I get from teachers is that they wish they could see folders by subject and grade level. Also, the drawing and other creation tools are very basic and could use some updating. Reason for choosing Seesaw More age appropriate than other products Review Source ML Melissa L. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seesaw heehaw!" February 25, 2021 4.0 Pros This product was a lifesaver Especially during the beginnings of the pandemic when we were all scrambling to get information to the kids and collecting it without seeing them in person staying apart. It was a lifesaver. Whatever the price it was it was worth it. Cons Especially during the beginnings of the pandemic when we were all scrambling to get information to the kids and collecting it without seeing them in person staying apart. It was a lifesaver. Whatever the price it was it was worth it. However, scheduling for it to appear on the lesson plans at all it’s a good feature but I did not know how to do it by myself so I did it wrong many times in the beginning and we set a lot of time it would be nice to have a feature video that would demonstrate how to do certain functions because I didn’t wanna waste anyone’s time to show me so I have to play around with it by myself.

" January 27, 2021 5.0 Fantastic experience using SeeSaw over the past 12-18 months. Absolutely love it, but more importantly, so do my kids. It really is an amazing introduction to collaboration tools my kids will be exposed to in future work environments e.g.) Microsoft Sharepoint; Google GSuite; etc. Pros 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). Cons 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. Review Source DR Dani R.

Supports wonderful communication with students and families. Pros User friendly, able to post to class or individual students. Easy to communicate with students/families and share what is happening in class. Cons No specific dislikes, very user friendly once you get in and start using it. Review Source SB Stacey B. Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Favorite" November 26, 2020 5.0 Pros There is so much you can do with Seesaw! I have used it for 3 years now and I can't say enough about how amazing it is. I became an ambassador for it 2 years ago and use the paid version. It's also includes an extension where students can take screenshots and embed them into their work. They have made many upgrades through out the years as well. I love how they change and adapt to their clientele. Cons The paid version is amazing, the free version is still good but not nearly as many features. Review Source AA Allison A. Instructional Technology Coach Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We LOVE Seesaw" November 11, 2021 5.0 Pros Seesaw is an amazing product that our students and teachers love using. It is extremely easy for our students to use and gain confidence quickly. It continues to improve every year. Seesaw does a great of listening to its teachers when they make improvements. Cons I wish there was a way to be able to schedule schoolwide/class announcements. Review Source JM Jordan M. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Basic, but user-friendly " November 20, 2020 4.0 Pros I teach 4th grade. We started using Seesaw last year when we went into distance learning. It is great for: 1. quick videos or quick assignments 2. It is really user-friendly. Kids can navigate Seesaw much easier than any of our other platforms. Cons I was largely disappointed we chose to use Seesaw as I think it is pretty limited in what kids can do on it. Meaning: 1. Although it is great for younger learners (k-2), there is not really anything that we do on Seesaw that we couldn't do somewhere else. 2. Any sort of extended writing is not really great on Seesaw. Review Source CR Clari R. Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy tool for parents to see child’s school progress but..." November 4, 2020 4.0 A basic remote learning tool which is easy to use but not feature rich. Pros It’s easy to use, has an iPhone app that is easy and intuitive to navigate. Great for seeing the progress by my child in school - I can see photos, sometimes photo collages, and also videos of my child uploaded by the teachers. The teachers also upload their weekly curriculum so I know what they’ve been learning. Cons It’s not as feature rich and when I used this during lockdown to respond to home based learning assignments and tasks assigned to my child, there’s no function to sort and filter through the many tasks . There’s no search option either. The only option is to scroll and look for the tasks and rely on memory on what the teacher uploaded. If a task had several subtasks, it was not always easy or possible to edit the previously submitted task so I end up creating a new task and the teacher has to figure out that it’s part 2 or part 3 of one assignment. There’s also no schedule functionality so that we can see the class timetable easily. Review Source AH Angel H.

Pros Seesaw is one of the best products I have used as an educator. I started using it with in person learning and it was such a great asset. Once we went to distance learning, it made the transition so much easier. I am able to give directions and assign different assignments. The students can complete the assignment, turn it in and I can respond to them individually. I can also share student presentations with the rest of the class, and they can leave positive comments. I am able to share and communicate with families. It is an excellent product! Cons I wish I would have started using it earlier in my career. Review Source EB Elizabeth B. Graphic Designer Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Remote Learning Ease" May 10, 2022 5.0 Pros The ease of seeing what assignments my kids needed to complete was of very high importance. It was so easy my pre-schooler could figure it out. Being able to complete them in the app and even send messages to the teachers was flawless. Cons Perhaps maybe being able to categorize assignments. Like "Science" , "For fun", "Reading"...etc. Review Source PK Paula K. Curriculum Integration Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Seesaw" March 23, 2021 5.0 Overall Seesaw has been fantastic for our primary grade students! Pros The addition of Seesaw to our learning environment has added a tremendous learning experience for our k through grade 2 students. Cons At first, it takes time to get familiar with the features and shortcuts when creating assignments for student work. Review Source DS Danielle S.

I absolutely love that I can see school work he is doing while in class. and I love how easy it is for my child to use on his own being only 6 years old. Cons I wish being able to print blank copies off of the website was a little easier. Review Source RC Rachel C.

Cons I would like to be able to start typing a response to the children’s work, as I’m listening / watching the video but you can’t do both at the same time. Review Source BC Brianna C.

It is really user friendly for both the teacher and student. Parents can also figure it out well. It is good for young students to access materials and is very organized without clutter materials.
