Nevada’s Read by Grade 3 Program
Using Seesaw as a digital portfolio is a great way to promote student learning AND engage families. My kindergarten students love to take pictures of activities that they complete in class. They love to share these activities with their families at home promoting student engagement. Similarly, by creating portfolios of their learning, we are able to see all their growth throughout the school year. It’s very exciting to see!”

Nevada’s Read by Grade 3 Program
Digital portfolios are an amazing way for parents to digitally catalog their student’s work at the end of each year. Not only can they see the work, they can see their learner and hear their voice. It is really a very unique archive that will grow with the learner. It shows success and growth over time instead of a snap shot here and there.”
