A Guide to Seesaw
St Luke’s Anglican School Prep - Yr 2 uses Seesaw as a simple way for teachers and students to record and share student learning in the classroom. Seesaw is a platform for student engagement that empowers students to create, reflect, share, and collaborate. Students use creative tools to take pictures, draw, record videos and more to capture learning in a portfolio.
Setting Up Seesaw for Home Learning
What are Home Learning Codes?
Home Learning Codes (a 12-digit text code or QR code) allow students to sign in to the Seesaw CLASS app from home while protecting their privacy. This means students can add posts to their journal, respond to activities, view announcements, and comment on their own work. Students cannot see or comment on other students’ work.
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 login as another student, see another student’s work, or comment on another student’s work with Home Learning codes.
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 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. We recommend printing each child’s text or QR code and hanging it in your learning space. Toggling is not a feature at this time.
Can students work together?
Students can tag other students on a post by clicking the three dots [...] > Edit People if this feature is enabled by the teacher. Students can see and comment on all work they are tagged in. Students can also collaborate on other applications and use the Link or Upload tool to add their work to their Seesaw journal.
