Seesaw has been a HUGE game changer in my classroom. Throughout the course I will teach participants how to set up Seesaw in their classroom, all of the creation features that are available, how this app can be used as a simple workflow, and offer many ideas for how to use Seesaw across all topic areas. On the first day, participants will get an overview of the Seesaw App. They will learn all of the features that are available and set up a practice class of their own. The second day will start with instruction on how I use Seesaw for workflow in the classroom. I will provide tips and tricks for making it quick and simple. The second half of the day will consist of many ideas for how to create within the Seesaw app. We will spend time exploring and creating ourselves. Participants will learn how to teach students to do BookSnaps, Sketchnote, and do fluency checks within the app among other things. The third day will include app smashing and planning for the upcoming year. Participants will get time to plan out how they would use Seesaw in their classroom and lessons that could be amplified by creating in Seesaw. Attendees will need very little experience with tech to be successful in this course. Seesaw is a cross-platform app available on a platforms and on the internet. It can be used in any classroom from 1:1 to classes with just a few devices.
