hollyn1214 Apr 11 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A3: my favorite thing about seesaw is the free storage and ability to upload and save things that Ss create from other apps #5thchat

jmjohn15 Apr 11 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A3: It is a great way to track student learning/give feedback and it allows students to back for reflection. #5thchat

iteach5m Apr 11 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: Started using @Seesaw because I needed a place to share all the "tech" things my Ss were creating! Love sharing work w/Ps #5thchat

I have my students record Science Labs and then use label feature! #5thchat

In reply to @bickd, @KLCseedtotree, @Seesaw

tompkinsv Apr 11 @ 8:17 PM EDT

In my K class they created story problems for s to ans, it's great to see the thought process which you don't always have time for #5thchat

In reply to @BlainlySpoken, @Seesaw

jmjohn15 Apr 11 @ 8:17 PM EDT

I have my students post problems to creating videos on how to do a problem. Even use it for math pretests. #5thchat

In reply to @BlainlySpoken, @Seesaw

BlainlySpoken Apr 11 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Seems like this would be a great way to interact with parents and show what's going on - something positive to send home #5thchat

In reply to @iteach5m, @Seesaw

hollyn1214 Apr 11 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Students can takes pictures or videos of science experiments and label, draw on, or record verbal observations #5thchat

In math, students are able to record themselves solving a problem using the drawing tool. Super helpful to share process with Ps #5thchat

bickd Apr 11 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A3: Can you type in other languages on @Seesaw? I teach at a Jewish day school and the other Ts would like to use Hebrew. #5thchat

KLCseedtotree Apr 11 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Yes, the moment they do it. Parents see real time @seesaw can be used at any level; wish I had it when I taught Middle school #5thchat

TNording Apr 11 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Q4: Best advice to others for using @Seesaw #5thchat

In reply to @iteach5m

drmcgaughy Apr 11 @ 8:19 PM EDT

There is a translation tool! #5thchat

In reply to @bickd, @Seesaw

Yes, @Seesaw can translate over 55 languages! #5thchat.

In reply to @bickd, @Seesaw, @Seesaw

https://t.co/zqNALQY9oB #5thchat

iteach5m Apr 11 @ 8:21 PM EDT

I like that I can use it as a showcase portfolio! It stores iMovies, ebooks, anything. I can't share them w/parents without it! #5thchat

In reply to @TNording

drmcgaughy Apr 11 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A4: Don't try to do everything at once! It's tempting because @Seesaw is compatible with many other apps. Take it slow. #5thchat

hollyn1214 Apr 11 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A4: start with the seesaw basics and just try uploading a picture of work. Seesaw has great tips on their website like dice #5thchat

TraciPiltz Apr 11 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Yes! Check out @EHSMrsJ for tons of awesome ideas. #5thchat #seesawchat

So then the Ss have a device to record their response and they post?My daughter is over my shoulder "Mom I know how to do that" LOL #5thchat

In reply to @drmcgaughy

iteach5m Apr 11 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A4: Use specific folders to store and manage work! Kids will begin to ask to "seesaw" their work! #5thchat

bickd Apr 11 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Is there a "Ss training" type power point or program to get started? #5thchat

LemarrTreadwell Apr 11 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Apparently I have my own @SeeSaw trainer her in house - daughter has volunteered to teach me #5thchat

drmcgaughy Apr 11 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Yes! Teachers also can approve it before their parents see it. #5thchat

In reply to @BlainlySpoken

iteach5m Apr 11 @ 8:24 PM EDT

You can make @Seesaw fit your needs. Many teachers use it for an eportfolio. It can adapt to what you want. #5thchat

In reply to @TNording, @Seesaw

hollyn1214 Apr 11 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A4: try seesaw with your students exclusively before sharing with parents to see how you want to use it #5thchat

Absolutely! There is a QR code login..Very easy. #5thchat

In reply to @MrHennigar, @jmjohn15, @LemarrTreadwell

My class knows more than I do! They are the best trainers! #5thchat

In reply to @BlainlySpoken, @Seesaw

KLCseedtotree Apr 11 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Good advice, but once you start using it, you will find it easy and time saving! Everything you need in one app. #5thchat @Seesaw

drmcgaughy Apr 11 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A4: Don't try to do everything at once! It's tempting because @Seesaw is compatible with many other apps. Take it slow. #5thchat

jmjohn15 Apr 11 @ 8:25 PM EDT
