What can students do on the Class app?
● Students can use Seesaw learning tools to post to their journal, view and respond to activities, view announcements from the teacher, and comment on their own work. Students cannot log in as another student, see another student’s work, or comment on another student’s work unless the teacher allows.
SeeSaw: Family App vs. Class App
Get the Seesaw Class App
What about having multiple children on the class
app sharing one device?
The family app is a way of communicating and showing families
what their students were doing throughout the school day. In
the beginning of the school year this was great to let families in
the “know” of what was happening in the classroom.
You can turn off the notifications in your phone/device settings.
Your child will use the Seesaw Class app for home learning. This is different than the Seesaw Family app.
If your home device is a tablet or phone, download or update the Seesaw Class app in your device’s app store. The most recent version of Seesaw is required for home learning. App update is required!
How to use SeeSaw class app Video
If your home device is a laptop or computer, visit app.seesaw.me.
With the class app, students are able to complete assigned activities that the
teachers give.
Students
Things to do/try:
Watch the following: How to use SeeSaw class app Video
Print off or write codes on a separate notecard for each child/student. When student #1 is finished using SeeSaw, show them how to sign out of their account. When student #2 wants to sign in, have them use their notecard with their QR code or text code. Have student #2 sign out when finishing their activity.
If your home device is a laptop or computer, visit app.seesaw.me.
With the class app, students are able to complete assigned activities that the
teachers give.
How do activities work?
● Your child’s teacher may assign activities in Seesaw. Students click on the Activities tab to see activities their teacher has assigned to them. To respond to an activity, your child should tap +Add Response in the Activities tab. Your child will be able to use Seesaw learning tools and their work will be added to their journal.
Can I message the teacher from the Class app?
● No. You should use the Family app to message the teacher once we roll that out.
Can multiple children use the same device with Home Learning Codes? Can I toggle between their accounts?
● When multiple children are using the same device for home learning, each child should log out of their account when they’re done using it.
See Saw Family App . This will be implemented later this year and accessed
separately by parents .
