Welcome to #seesawchat! We're so excited to learn and share with you for an hour. Questions will be posted with Q1, Q2, and so on. Start a new tweet to answer with A1, A2, and so on. The first question will be coming your way soon!
A1: Hi everyone, Lorie Felippa here...Instructional Coach (TK-2) from Arcadia Unified, California. Excited to be part of #seesawchat. Currently partnering w/15+ @ArcadiaUnified Ts using @Seesaw to support Ss learning & goal setting, tracking progress & reflecting on learning.
A1: I am the elementary gifted facilitator in my district! 52 kiddos divided amongst 6 classes—Seesaw is a great tool I can use to keep parents connected as well as organize my assessments. #seesawchat
A1: Loving my role planning, leading, and integrating tech activities in our elementary school. Seesaw is at the heart of most of what I do! #seesawchat
Hi everyone! My name is Kylie Syska and I'm a student at Grove City College majoring in special ed and early ed! I'm so excited to join this chat :) #seesawchat#pstpln
A2: I try to create or look for activities that activate thinking, inspire creativity,provide opportunities for competency practice and capture self-reflection. An activity that makes learning visible and involves families in celebrating student growth is a "win-win".#seesawchat
A2: I’m working to integrate technology into grade level curriculum, so that drives my activity choices a lot of the time. I’m also creating a lot of activities! #seesawchat

A2: I love using Activities as exit tickets in my departmentalized 5th grade ELA class. Have Ss' work grouped by class keeps me organized and able to give feedback easily. I always look for higher level thinking activities. #seesawchat#Blooms
A2 I love using activities to record student fluency. We read sight words and decodable passages. I can differentiate based on what they need. #seesawchat
5th Grade Teachers! Did you see this amazing activity by Mrs. Heyer that was just added to the library? Browse Seesaw's Activity Library today to find other new ideas ready to use in your classroom! https://t.co/BcDubDErYL#5thchat
A2: I like using sorts with my students or labeling activities they're super easy to use with my younger Ss! I look for activities that cover specific skills we are learning #seesawchat
A2: I look for activities that will allow students to show what they know in a creative way. I've been making activities that allow students to reflect on how they see themselves as a learner. #seesawchat
A2: I have never used Activities before but I am looking forward to in the future! I think that Activities could be a great tool for summative assessments, integrating technology, and engaging students! #seesawchat
Our youngest learners love activities where they can use the drawing/recording tools. @Seesaw is so intuitive, I'm always amazed at what students can do.#seesawchat
Q1: Teaching English in the south of Spain, an area where - due to our context- it's hard to teach a foreign language; things are getting better, though. It's compulsory secondary EDU & I'm in charge of the school library. #seesawchat
2nd GradeTeachers! Did you see this awesome activity by Megan Moore @mmooresjc that was just added to the library? Browse Seesaw's Activity Library today to find other new ideas! https://t.co/ZMxqR34YF6#seesawchat#2ndchat
A3: Here is an 🍎labeling activity. I love labeling activities and having students record themselves saying the words while moving the labels. https://t.co/RRTD6C9UJu#seesawchat
Q2: #seesawchat I mainly let them produce in English during my lessons. Doing in class what they can't do at home, like organizing debates, short presentations, working cooperatively. Bloom's Taxonomy plays an important role when creating my scheme of work.
There’s a lot of value in the more beginner level activities. Students and teachers learn to manipulate labels, fill in the blanks, etc. Building up to creating their own @seesaw content. #seesawchat
A1. Jessie McKinley @mckinj01, K-4 Coding teacher at our new STEAM school in Phoenix AZ @CamelviewMSD38 This is my first year teaching coding and I'm an 18-year veteran teacher. #SeesawChat
A4: We are 1:1 Chromebooks so I create most activities in Google Draw. Always downloading as a jpg allows Ss to use the various Seesaw tools. Copy/edit feature allows me to easily duplicate directions for similar activities.
#seesawchat
A4. Don’t underestimate what Ss can do! They usually surprise us with their creativity. Have them explain their thinking, either by typing a caption, or recording their voice. So powerful! #seesawchat
A4. I try to create activities with similar directions. Less for 1st graders to worry about. I also try to make activities that allow me to clone myself. Sight words check ins are great and I can review at home rather than take class time to assess 1:1. #seesawchat
A4: I like to give my students open ended questions in their activities. Upper elementary kids love to have choice when responding. I often allows them choose between creating a drawing or a note to show their thinking. Options = Empowerment #seesawchat
A4: I ❤️ making templates in PowerPoint to export as a JPEG. That way the labels, sections, etc are organized for Ss to add their answers to quickly. #seesawchat
Middle SchoolTeachers! Did you see this new activity by Brenda Morrow @iteach5m that was just added to the library? Browse Seesaw's Activity Library today to find other awesome ideas! https://t.co/Tv3iDZYwgx#seesawchat#5thchat#mschat
A4 I limit the typing my first graders have to do in the beginning of the year. I make a lot of templates the Ss drag, write, draw, and/or record. https://t.co/w05UhS4jJg#seesawchat
A2 I like activities that give me insight to my learners. I'm always trying to figure out what they're thinking/feeeling. I love sorting activities for formative assessments. They're quick, yet informative. #seesawchat
