### "Moving classroom based learning online with Seesaw"

January 9, 2021

5.0

Overall, I have gained a lot of respect for this platform and have happily used it on a daily basis to deliver online materials to students for over 6 six months of school now. 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.

### "Discovering Seesaw: an innovative tool ideal for educators and students"

July 31, 2023

5.0

I had the opportunity to use Seesaw in my college courses, where I was able to easily share my projects and sketches with professors and peers, receiving valuable feedback to improve my work and communication from both parties. Also, during my time as a tutor at an English academy thanks to Seesaw I was able to keep students engaged in interactive activities, such as pronunciation recordings and writing exercises, which helped reinforce their language skills effectively.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Taken away individual teacher memberships"

January 27, 2024

5.0

I love using seesaw in my room with the upgraded option. 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.

### "Kindergarten Learning Portfolio "

June 10, 2024

5.0

Seesaw is a wonderful platform to use in the classroom with younger learners to get them excited to share with their families about learning.

Pros

Seesaw is easy to use for teachers, students and parents. It’s a way to capture their learning in the classroom and sharing it with stakeholders. It’s amazing!

Cons

I have a harder time managing the folders and getting my students to organize things.

### "Snapshot of your childs day"

December 15, 2023

4.0

Seesaw overall is a great communication app and has some better features than other apps like Class Dojo or Remind. I think for more advanced students it might have more functionality. It shares actual assignments from your student and you can get great communications from the teacher, provided that the teacher participates actively.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "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

### "Every school must use it!"

April 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love how Seesaw helps teachers and students to keep track of their school work in a very convenient way.

Cons

It does seem to be a little too complicated for older teachers to use and I wish they had trial videos on how to use this software.

### "Easy for students and teachers"

October 11, 2021

5.0

I use it all the time - it's great.

Pros

It is very easy for my students to upload their pictures, videos, recording etc. As their teacher, I can see their work instantly to review and approve. Parents can also see their work. It is a great way for them to share their learning with us.

Cons

I wish it would notify me as soon as something is submitted by a student. If I forget to open the app, I do not know it is there, waiting for my approval.

### "Great for 2nd grade classroom "

November 26, 2025

5.0

We use Seesaw to assign e-learning assignments as well as in class work. 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.

### "great app for schools"

October 3, 2023

5.0

Pros

### "Teachers Need Seesaw!! "

April 1, 2021

5.0

I love Seesaw!! I am able to give my parents access to their child's seesaw account where they can see the work they are doing in the classroom. Not only do I get to see their learning but the parents as well.

Pros

Using Seesaw has allowed me to personalize learning for my students. It is very easy to get started and set up your classroom. There are already a plethora of resources that other teachers have created or you can create your own content. Seesaw is very teacher-friendly and easy to set up. There are tons of resources ranging in content and grade level that will meet the needs of any classroom. I also love that students can create their own videos to explain their thinking and learning as well as take pictures.

Cons

I do not have any cons in regards to this program. I frequently talk about it within my workplace and have had many teachers sign up for the program and use it within their classrooms.

### "Seesaw in Anderson One"

February 12, 2021

5.0

I used Seesaw as a classroom teacher and now I enjoy getting to share the best ways to implement Seesaw in pre-K to 5th grade classrooms. I love seeing our ESL, speech, related, guidance, and administrators join classroom teachers on Seesaw so that the entire school is connected. It is by far my absolute favorite tool for elementary teachers!!

Pros

We have eight elementary schools in our district and they are all Seesaw for Schools. We have loved using Seesaw to engage our students, document learning, assess understanding, and communicate with families. Recently we used Seesaw blogs to connect our schools across the district so that they could share and comment on each other's writing.

Cons

Seesaw continues to update and make changes to make it easier for both teachers and students to use. We have made some suggestions for future updates but are very happy with the current product!

### "It gets the job done, but is not very user friendly..."

September 25, 2020

3.0

This program is great in that I can be informed of what's going on with my child's preschool, and I love that! I do wish there was a way to keep me connected to my child's schooling but be a little more user friendly though! It gets the job done but gets a little annoying along the way.

Pros

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 :)

Cons

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!

### "Provides a direct line of communication with my son's teacher"

March 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

I receive updates all day long in real-time regarding my son's progress and classroom activity Together my son and I can access his assignments anytime to correct and resubmit

Cons

It's sometimes difficult to navigate. We were not given training on the software, so occasionally I have to fumble around to find the options I need to use

### "Fantastic way for teachers and parents to communicate and share"

December 14, 2022

5.0

Great option for parent teacher communication.

Pros

This app allows teachers to directly message parents and send information needed for their children. When a parent needs to have a child ready early (for an appointment), parents can message the teacher directly too.

Cons

Some notifications will alert on the phone and by email if you do not set it up differently

### "Simple Classroom App"

February 26, 2022

4.0

Overall it is a good app. I have used it for about 3 years. I will continue to use it if my children's school does.

Pros

This app seems good for a 1st time user. This was the 1st classroom software I had used with my kids. Overall it is pretty user friendly. I like the notifications from teachers.

Cons

App doesn't allow me to upload longer videos (over 1 minute), had a hard time with some permissions with the IT support at my son's school. I could not initiate a private message to a provider. They had to start a message and I could respond to it. The IT professional at the school is still trying to fix this.

### "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.

### "Reflecting in Education "

March 17, 2024

5.0

It has been wonderful as a teacher and as a parent to be able to have seesaw.

Pros

Seesaw gives the students a platform to reflect on their learning. This is an often overlooked aspect of education. It also keeps parents connected to whats going on in their students classroom.

Cons

Sometimes, if the students are not trained well, it becomes just a fun place to mess around.

### "Seesaw is Amazing!!"

June 25, 2021

5.0

I love using Seesaw because of the ease of use for the teacher, ability for students to explain their learning in their own voice, and how easy it is to communicate with parents.

Pros

I love the ability to communicate with families in real time and share all the wonderful things happening in my classroom. I also love that even my youngest students can create short videos and add their voice to drawing in order to explain their learning.

Cons

This company really listens to its users! The only suggestion I had would be to add more pages to each activity, and they already added that as soon as customers requested it.

### "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.
