When I began using Seesaw, it really helped me to hear and get inside students’ thinking and figure out where the breakdowns were. This allowed me POWERFUL insights that I could then use to diagnose misunderstandings and make decisions on what exactly I needed to do to help a student move forward. It helped me to be the BEST teacher I could be in meeting students’ instructional needs.
