Building a positive classroom community allows Ss to feel comfortable so that they can take academic risks. If Ss fear being criticized, they will not want to strive to try and improve their skills. #SeesawChat

A2 - Classroom community is the foundation of everything else that happens in the classroom. Without it, students don’t feel safe and find it hard to do their best #seesawchat
A2 I agree with @MrsWeis_ ! A classroom is about a community of learners growing, exploring, taking risks together. It's hard to do those things really well if we don't build community first and then continue building throughout the year. #seesawchat
A3: Our blog is a place where students can post things they are proud of and build connections by commenting. Our class is using @Seesaw for our School reading challenge. Ss and Ps are taking pictures around town and posting to their journals. #SeesawChat
Building classroom community is important so students can begin to make connections! Students often learn best from peers! It is authentic motivation and super engaging! #seesawchat
A3: @Seesaw is the perfect tool for building community, both in the class as Ss share w each other & outside of the class as Ps get a peek into what is happening & feel involved & part of the classroom. Love this example of positive words from friends & P comments! #seesawchat
Watch @sfryer share all the creative ways she uses Seesaw to build community with her students and families! Watch now or any time at your convenience! https://t.co/gNBYCyQBW3#seesawchat
A3: Students are able to watch and comment on each other’s work and posts. They realize that the audience is more than the teacher and their parents. #seesawchat
A3: By having students work in groups and pairs to create work for Seesaw. All students know they must be able to work successfully with anyone in our class #seesawchat
A3: For the last month of school, we pick a Ss to focus on with labels. We print each page and create a class EOY book for each kid!! We call it #AFriendADayinMay#seesawchat
Q3: Seesaw is an amazing way to build community especially through peer comments and feedback on posts. The students build each other up, collaborate, and celebrate new learning! Activities also promote community development. #seesawchat
#Seesawchat A3 we review all Seesaw posts together as a class daily. It is a positive atmosphere with everyone celebrating their learning. We also discuss next steps and ways to increase learning.
A3. Ss and family members can see what's happening in class. Ss post their work, and other Ss can comment. I also post pictures of our class frog and other happenings throughout the year. #Seesawchat
A3: I love using seesaw to showcase group projects. Last week, I gave them the challenge of creating something that represented Earth Day using only 3 types of materials. Students had time to plan & create their product and record together #seesawchat

A3 I have seen @Seesaw used to celebrate inquiry, celebrate learning, celebrate members of the community. It's also been wonderful to build stronger connections with parents and families. #seesawchat
Hey hey jumping in Late. K teacher , tech coach from NJ A3 Ss send pics of their weekend with our class “pet” Sammy Sloth and I post on our seesaw blog. Great community builder when other s get a look inside each others’ home life. #seesawchat
A3 @Seesaw is my young students’ first experience positing comments to their peers. We discuss being positive and encouraging to one another. Building a foundation for responsible online behavior #Seesawchat
A3: We also build community through fun "Share Days" and "Feedback Friday." Our Ts, Ss, and Ps are all part of feedback Friday. We all learn new ways to comment. Comment ideas here: https://t.co/M5Z7W6mxY2#seesawchat
A4: As a TIS I see Ts do lots of awesome stuff-make sure Ss post daily, share newsletters, share photos, use @seesaw Inbox messages...using Seesaw consistently is a terrific way to connect Ps to your classroom & their Ss learning! #seesawchat
A4: I LOVE @seesaw for staying connected with parents! Parents comment regularly on their students work which lets them know what we’ve been up to in the classroom. I also upload photos and videos of student presentations that they would not normally get to see #seesawchat
A4: My Ps learn new ways to comment weekly/monthly with the Ss. Ps comment every Thursday and Ss comment back every Friday. We also have loads of aunts, uncles, and grandparents commenting! #feedbackrocks#seesawchat
A4: Many of my Ss love working together so they will tag each other in the work. Parents get to see how well they communicate and share ideas. #seesawchathttps://t.co/GJDllTNgX7
A4: Parents love having a window into our classroom and the ability to comment and learn alongside their child in real-time! Parents enjoy getting alerts and responding back to student work with positive and encouraging words! #seesawchat
A4. Family members are linked to their student's @Seesaw account. Family members can also get private messages sent by me. Since families get notifications of items posted, they have a constant peek into our classroom. #Seesawchat
A4: Oh so many ways! We post our daily workshop anchor charts to inform Ps about the lesson and S work to show progress. We use messaging for fun activities. Since many of our Ps work, we use @seesaw to give them a chance to visit our classroom virtually each day #seesawchat
A4: I create quick @PicCollage images to share out weekly to show what we're doing, too, because some of our awesome projects take a few weeks. #seesawchat
A4 Here is another GREAT use of @Seesaw. When teachers post something from an anchor chart and tell families to ask about... Conversations at home about school are so much richer! #seesawchat
A4: Apart from seeing their child’s work and commenting on it, I also upload photo collages of students at work during the day. I love Fuzel Collage for this as you can create moving collages with music quickly and easily 😊 #seesawchat
Sometimes I do not get the chance to conference with every student. But with @Seesaw, I can provide feedback on my couch at home so that each child receives a message. We also post digital student shout outs to their journals. #Seesawchat
A5: I work in some classrooms where Ts do not post Ss work until they've had a chance to comment on it. I think this is amazing & Ss know they are a valued member of the classroom community when their T takes the time to comment on the work that they do. #seesawchat
A5: Sometimes I do not get the chance to conference with every student. But with @Seesaw, I can provide feedback on my couch at home so that each child receives a message. We also post digital student shout outs to their journals. #Seesawchat
A5: Students understand they are valued when they see their posts being used as exemplars/models. They also see their own growth and achievement looking back at past posts and seeing/hearing the improvement compared to more recent recordings. It is incredibly powerful #seesawchat
A5: We share seesaw posts up on the screen. The kids LOVE being showcased up there and are so excited when it’s theirs! Students also leave compliments on other students work. #seesawchat

A5. Everyone's thoughts/feelings are valued. I post on each Ss entry & like different comments. I also ask questions about entries, & I answer questions they may have. Ss are encouraged to comment on each other's entries. Families members can also comment on entries. #Seesawchat
A6: Our school has found Seesaw to be the perfec, safe environment for students to lean digital citizenship skills, particularly in how to comment on other people’s work. Also for permissions for sharing work, tagging people, taking photos etc #seesawchat
A6: We teach how to comment and think before you click/type. These Ss are going to grow up with Social Media. I want my Ss to understand how to use it respectfully and responsibly. #SeesawChat
A5 seesaw has helped you shy, reluctant learners find their voice. They know they have an audience that is interested in the work they produce. #Seesawchat
A6: @seesaw is the perfect way to put into action #digcit in an authentic, safe way. Ss can practice being safe online, making positive comments to others, not posting photos of others, etc while still in a teacher moderated environment. It's a perfect pairing! #seesawchat
A6: You can model what respectful, appropriate, and encouraging comments would look like on other students work. Being encouraged by their peers is so important and will help so much in creating that positive learning environment #seesawchat
A6. Discuss being responsible digital citizens. Stress how something online is there 4ever. Talk about the importance of being kind and respectful with posting. #seesawchat
A6: #seesaw is the perfect way to open digital citizenship convo. It's the first interactive tool my Ks use so I always begin w. appropriate comments & to never post as someone else (We're on shared devices) #seesawchat
A6 Meeting the @iste#digitalcitizenship standards is so easy with @Seesaw! Students learn what is an appropriate post, what kinds of comments build others up and contribute to learning, that each of them is a capable, valuable member of the community. #seesawchat
A6 students are required to put their name on all their Seesaw work and comments. They know it requires teacher aproval. 👀 They only post thing they would be proud to put their name on! #seesawchat
A7: Through repeated use and confidence building, I find all of my students will have found their voice by the end of our year together because of #seesaw. They are comfortable with it, eager to use it, and love the authentic feedback from home and school! #seesawchat
A7. The different tools create numerous opportunities for Ss to showcase knowledge. When giving assignments, Ss choose the method to convey the message. #Seesawchat
A7: My Ks have lots to say or show what they know, but I'm only one person. Seesaw is a game changer. My Ss post and know that I will listen at later time. I like or comment so they know they've been heard. #seesawchat
#SeesawChat I use @Seesaw to give my students a voice by letting them decide what is their “wow!” work! They get to choose what they want to post and how they want to show it ➡️ draw, label, record
A7 By giving students multiple pathways to demonstrate learning, by literally letting students to use their voice to share their thinking - not just their answers - by letting them teach each other. #seesawchat
A7: @seesaw allows for even the quietest Ss in class to share their voice w you & their peers. I teach Ts to utilize the video & mic ALL THE TIME! Love how Ss can share their learning in different ways that they choose. Love these fun examples from @laura_tieszen room #Seesawchat
A7: Ss can choose how they upload their work, they can take a picture & add a caption, take a picture & record, or take a video. Ss learn in so many different ways and I think it’s important to let them show their learning in whatever way is more comfortable for them #seesawchat
Thanks so much for joining us for #seesawchat and special thanks to @MrsAshleyBFort for moderating. Be sure to follow others in the chat to grow your PLN!

Thanks for joining us for tonight’s #Seesawchat! Try an idea tomorrow to contribute to your classroom community, and don’t forget to follow educators you may have connected with tonight.
I just finished a four session course for teachers in our district on portfolios FOR learning. It’s been wonderful to see them learn and grow and support each other, much of it around the use of @Seesaw! #SeesawChat
