Hi ! My name is Ari and I am from 🇨🇷 Costa Rica. I have been teaching preschool for almost 5 years but I didn't know about this App. Love all your videos and I started following you😁👍. I'm going to teach next 2022-2023 for the first time in other country and you inspire me to keep learning and being creative. Thank you so much for you information. 🌷Please continue to share your experience with all. Blessings🙂
I'm just learning Seesaw. I like your video and understand it now that I've had some experience with Seesaw. When I first viewed your video, I became frustrated because you talked so fast. Now that I've played around with Seesaw, I understood better your message. Thanks.
Thank you for teaching us amazing knowledge on how we can use different items and how we can upload, and assign work for students!This is magic I can tell.
Great job! Probably one of the better videos I've seen about SeeSaw. The only thing I would have added was the icon codes for the instructions. Otherwise, it was perfect!
Love this video!, I use Canva to create all my Seesaw activities, I use all the free clipart it has. Then use the lightshot tool (chrome extension) to copy and paste all my elements and movables into the Seesaw activities :)
Thank you for the video! It would be great for the students to narrate their choices as some students may view the "cube" as a "box" and put that in the short vowel column.
Can you help us by telling in detail (like step by step) the tools, which button to press, which to click, or where to find the buttons. Because it was so fast and i couldnt catch up 😅
I love the idea of using Seesaw to create interactive work for my class but I have google classroom. If I want my kids to look for and turn in assignments using google do they also need to log into seesaw to complete assignments that are created in Seesaw?
I loved your video! Very clear, informational and on point. Thank you. I used Google Classroom for DL in the Spring. How can I use Google Slides in Seesaw? In Google classroom it gave an option to "make a copy for each student," does Seesaw offer this option as well or how would I go about assigning a Google Slide?
I just watched your fabulous video. Thank you for this fabulous resource! I was wondering if you happened to know if there was a way to add audio files to the images? For example, when you click the fox, you hear the word fox… I will be ESOL kindergarten at a Title I school. My kids can’t sort if they don’t now the name of what they are sorting! Even my ITT can’t help me figure this out. Any suggestions???
When you record yourself reading the passage for students, does the play button always stay in the middle of the page? I am trying to record myself reading math word problems from a pdf I uploaded (one per page, so not in the directions), but I am wondering if there is a way to move the big play arrow that is in the middle of the screen so they still have space to show their work or write the equations. Thanks for the video. It was great!
Thank you for this great resource! I tried to find your video explaining how to split a PDF and couldn't find it. Could you please share a link to that video?
This could be done on the first page of the activity where you'll record your screen just by hitting on the microphone in Seesaw and record or just attach this video as an example.
Hello! I am super new to See Saw. Your video was very helpful. I am a high school Spanish teacher. I am disappointed to see it costs $180 a year. Do you think I can get away with just a free version? I teach 5 classes
Hello, if a student submits an activity with a mistake, then they edit it. Will the teacher know if the student makes edits? The teacher has not yet approved the activity
Hi Staci! I explain that both in this video here ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kCxBhrMoILk.html ) and also in the description of that video!
I am not too familiar with Dojo so I won't speak on that, but I am very familiar with GC and watching my son, Theo (5) try to maneuver and use both, I can confidently say I think Seesaw is better for kids 5-8 than Google Classroom. I like that as a teacher you can share audio and video directions, students can easily find and use the drawing tools. They can also explain their thinking when they click the microphone and submit it! I also like it better for ipads! Every new app will take a bit of teaching, but I love this one!
I agree with Susan 100%! I have used all 3 and Seesaw is so user friendly for K-2 students. The parents and students love it and I appreciate not having to troubleshoot. Class Dojo is good too, but I would choose Seesaw over any other platform for primary students.
Hi! I used class Dojo (before the virus hit), and started with Seesaw when the shutdown happened. I Think of Dojo as a "Twitter" or "Family Text Circle" for your class. It is fantastic (and super easy to use) as a communication system. Not so great as an assignment, project, feedback system. Seesaw is your classroom in an "online" version. It has a great communication system built in (a text type system) but parents sometimes miss the "announcements". I plan on using both (it is over engineering, I know) - but parents like the ease of texting me on Dojo with changes in transportation, questions, etc. They like the ease of assignments on Seesaw. HTH.
I agree with Susan too! Though I love Google Classroom (and it has its perks and features which Seesaw doesn't have), the best feature in Seesaw in my opinion is microphone where kids can explain their choice and draw / type at the same time.
Hi! They are two separate platforms so you would use them separately, not together. Although, the same types of activities can be used in both programs!
Hi Susan. I can tell Seesaw will be great for distance learning. If I get hired for a full time teaching position for the 2020-2021 school year I know the school where I hope to get hired uses Google Meet and Seesaw. I successfully downloaded to Seesaw app but I don't have a school account yet. Is there a place we can go in and practice using it? I would like to be prepared and ready to go.
Yes! For any activity, they would just choose the pen tool at the bottom of the page and use their mouse/trackpad (if they’re on a laptop/desktop) or their finger/a stylus if they’re on a tablet. Hope that helps! My daughter was a kindergartener using seesaw on her iPad this spring during distance learning and she loved it! She went back and forth between writing and typing. 😉
Hi LaQuanda! You could definitely use it with older grades as well! Honestly, either would work, I just find most teachers in grades 3 and up use GC because it's used so often in middle and high school!
THANK YOU for this vid. However you should probably be aware that the commercial I had to click out of to get to your video was for a conspiracy theory website selling misinformation about the virus. Just thought you should know.
Rebekah Rogers ugh I hate that!! I’m so sorry. Unfortunately, I have no control over the ads RU-vid shows to viewers and it’s different for each viewer.
@Susan Jones Teaching I imagine that must be VERY frustrating. Since you appear to be a popular youtuber (and since we're ALL distance teaching now, I suspect you'll become a VERY popular youtuber!) I encourage you to speak up if You Tube ever gives you the opportunity.
@@SusanJonesTeaching Also - thank you - I've been looking for AN HOUR for a video that actually makes SENSE and this was first one. I'm recommending it to my teammates.
Slow down the speed of the video. Directly to the right of the "cc" (closed caption) button under the video, there is a gear/flower button. Click on it a set the playback speed to your preference.
A few people said that this tutorial was a bit too fast-paced for them. I just learned this tip: Click on the settings wheel on the control panel at the bottom of the video. Then you can change the "playback speed" to .75 or .5 to slow down the video and speaker. This helped me to be able to follow all of the action and process all this great information! I am new to see-saw and have not done my introductory tutorial yet or even set up an account. I've been putting it off all summer, but your video has inspired me to get moving! Looks like a great platform. Thanks Susan!
thank you for showing how to make the PDF work for a click and drag activity! I kept trying to put hte images into the powerrpoint and upload it and it was harder !
I am not a techy person. I teach prek. We used Seesaw this year for our virtual students and I really loved how user friendly it is, for teachers and for students as young as 4 and 5.
Thank you for showing how to create the sort with moveable images! This platform has been amazing for the school shutdown. It is user friendly for both teachers and my first grade students. THANK YOU!!!
My school is suggesting teachers use this for our lessons. The challenge is that it's a high school and the material is of course heavy in theory. For example, I'm a math teacher who's going to be teaching trig soon. I've already been using google slides as a sort of journal where each student can make notes and draw graphs, solve problems, etc. Most of what I see in these see-saw videos seems to be aimed at lower gradeschool. Do you see something like this working at high school level?
I figured out that you didn't go too fast, the problem is you were talking all about the program but did not explain what you were doing or how you did the step--so you were 4 steps ahead of me all the time--great tutorial though--thank you
