Seesaw - Digital Portfolios

A goal of mine this year is to create digital student portfolios to use as a summative assessment for my students. I remember saving important (or what I thought was important) notes and projects from classes just in case I needed them for future reference. Since almost everything has gone digital, it makes sense for students to keep track of their most important accomplishments digitally.

One good resource to do this is called Seesaw. I tinkered with the idea last year but never implemented it in my language arts class.

As a teacher, you can set up the portfolio requirements. Students then submit their assignments. I would use this only to display the work, but you could use it however you wanted. Parents could also be able to view the work. Some teachers have described it as almost Facebook-like. There are settings in which you can control the content.

If you would like to know more about it, here is the link: Seesaw

If you are interested in using it or something like it, let me know, and I will be happy to help you!
