#7 of the December Ed Tech 12 List: Seesaw--"A student-driven digital portfolio"

The Ed Tech 12 list #7 is Seesaw.  During one of the breakout sessions at our recentTEDx jr. day, one of the groups I was facilitating began discussing digital portfolios.  Although the topic of digital portfolios for all our buildings/grade levels is a greater topic of discussion, the application Seesaw was discussed.  Some of you may be interested in digital portfolios on a smaller scale for your classroom needs, therefore I thought #7 on our list could be Seesaw.

This is an app and/or web-based platform where students create digital portfolios.  The application allows students to document and share what they are learning in school (both using digital content and nondigital content).  It empowers students to take more ownership of their learning and is easy to use for a PK-12 environment.  Implementing it in the classroom couldn't be easier with the use of Seesaw's Teacher Resource Center.  The application is also great for parents as it provides them with an up-to-date window of what their child is learning.
