"Easy communication with parents"

4/5

Can be challenging to add students and families - sometimes this is not intuitive.

Drains the battery on my device quickly . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic tool for collaboration for all ages"

5/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

I love how easy and simple it is to set up a Seesaw site, share access to learners and collaborators, and manage how all users engage and access the site. It's not a full functioned tool like some solutions that we use, but it gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

My only issue with Seesaw has been how it handles some links posted on the sites. Some video links don't play or freeze. Also, it's not as easy with Seesaw to save your progress in projects and move to other tasks. I have had many users lose their projects as they navigated to different sites while progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Seesaw:

Seesaw is free to try, so no excuses against giving it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Seesaw solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't always have access to a learning management system. In absence of a dedicated platform for learning, Seesaw offers a great option for collecting and distributing assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for communicating and sharing student work with families"

4/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

As a parent, I love being able to see my child's work, and to leave comments for them to read. Lots of great options to share different formats - pictures, annotations, videos with audio, etc. Teachers are able to approve content before it officially posts. I also love being able to see weekly teacher newsletters in one place, rather than having to search my email! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

The only difficult thing is that when teachers add content, it adds in by date created, not date added, so it's sometimes hard to scroll back and find out what was newly added since you last looked at the app or site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Seesaw:

Great way to increase parent engagement, and to ensure parents read communication from teachers and school! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Seesaw solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is a great way to engage parents in the work and progress of students at school. It helps children feel affirmed. It's also a great solution to store communication in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to interact with student and families"

5/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

The format is similar to Facebook which most people have so it’s relatable. The option I have to approve or delete comments. I like how i can private message parents. The ability for students to post their work and she’s with class if they want to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

I don’t like that adding a caption (which is what I usually do when posting a reminder That includes a graphic or photo ) it is not behind the ...bubble on the phone version which is a pain to access. The process to add students to their own accounts is complicated and could be easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Seesaw solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used Seesaw four years and make It a point to have all my students families connected in the beginning of a school year. With the shutdown of schools, Seesaw gave me a way to continue to keep in touch with families, post videos, assign work, and connect students two they could share with their classmates. I love using it to remind families of upcoming events, due dates or those “don’t forget” notes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smart, highly visual tool to assign and review your remote students work"

4/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

The workflow and the various ways to review and approve students work. I have 3 groups of students and use activity, folders and the students as ways to review and approve work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

It's too easy to send back work without comments. SeeSaw should fix this or at least put up a 'Are you Sure' notification. I've learned now to comment first before hitting the send back button Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Seesaw:

While Seesaw can be used for in-person work, its current feature set is clearly for remote learning. As we move to a hybrid environment, I may use it less. That said, it is essential for what I do now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Seesaw solving and how is that benefiting you?

More efficiently managing the assignment, review and assessment of the work in my class Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A useful tool to keep the classroom connected"

5/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

I like how you can quickly and easily communicate with parents about the work that the children are doing as well as communicating about important information directly.

The parents are able to look at the work their children are doing and comment and like the work they have done.

You can create assignments quickly and easily. Once you have created an assignment you can assign the assignment to any class you are linked to all at once. You also are able to schedule when the activity appears and what folders it is stored in.

All of the assignments you create are stored automatically for easy reuse and editing. You can also create a school wide database of assignments you want to share to all for cross curriculum collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

If I want to assign work to multiple classes at once there is not an easy way to post work to all of them at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Seesaw:

Have it installed on all your devices to easily use it where ever you are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Seesaw solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to assign work instantly to all the children and then mark and comment on the work in one place using the easy user interface. It also makes having the children give feedback on their work and the work of others really easily.

I have been using it to effectively teach in a distance learning environment by using the assignment tools i can create work for children to complete on their own and give marking and feedback to everybody quickly and effectively despite being separated physically from the classroom.

"A very useful learning tool for particular audiences"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

Seesaw has a very easy to use and easy to train interface for all levels of learners. It's a bare bones LMS-like system that can easily facilitate simple learning tasks. Our facilitators have a relatively simple time distributing learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

Seesaw definitely has it's limitations and we see some end user issues from time to time. Our biggest issue has been with users losing submissions or posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Horrible! Confusing for children, time-stealing for parents - "screw UX" should be their slogan"

1/5

What do you like best about Seesaw?

They have an app and also a web version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seesaw?

While on quarantine the school of my children started actively using SeeSaw for remote education. Let me say this way: I manage of a company with 300 employees, yet I never felt so helpless, confused and frustrated as when I tried to manage education for three 8 year old children. Thank god they are triplets and two of them are in the same class, so at least some things could be shared - otherwise I probably would go crazy.

You can never understand which assignments are due, where the info is being sent (is in journal? in the child's inbox? in parent's notification?). Every time a child needs to submit the work they did, they cannot figure out and call you. Uploading a photo takes 4-5 clicks and you cannot upload multiple pictures at once.

During the last 1.5 months judging by the amount of my worktime wasted - the SeeSaw is on the top of the list "Things with negative impact" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s not attached to canvas, which is the learning platform for students at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
