Earlier this week I completed my Seesaw Ambassador training for another year! I really enjoy using Seesaw particularly as a platform for sharing the learning happening in the classroom with whanau.
Additionally this year I've started using the Seesaw Activity Library more extensively and contributed with my own activities. While still using Explain Everything, the Seesaw activities tend to be able to be completed during one lesson and provide opportunities for students to practise different skills quickly. They are just as interactive (particularly with the new features added) as using Explain Everything and students don't need to be shown how to upload to Seesaw.
The above example is an activity created earlier today to practise skip counting to solve multiplication problems. I look forward to continuing to use Seesaw in the classroom over the coming months!
