Students capture their learning with photos, videos, drawings, voice, and digital creations to show their growth and successes in speaking, listening, reading and writing in any subject area. Students comment on each other's submissions to learn from each other and create a collaborative learning experience. Seesaw engages parents by giving them a real-time, personalized glimpse into their child's school day. Parents can see and comment on their child's work as well as receive communication in over 50 languages to engage in the learning process as a partner in education.
