SEESAW! This is the Way!
Above, I shared some great example lessons being pushed out by some of our Seesaw Allstars that highlight student voice and create learning loops between students, teachers & families. Notice how many of them incorporate student voice. Some have been created by others and just saved and used, some have been created and designed to support the curriculum being taught and some are just students reading or narrating about what they have done in class. Whether you're using Seesaw as part of your daily lesson design or as an extension to reteach a skill kids love it.,
