4 Week IntroductionGrades K - Year 2
1. Use these slides to get your class in a publishing routine with Seesaw. 2. We’ll walk through 1 ELA and 1 Math activity per week for 4 weeks. 3. Print or copy the slides and check off the items as your class moves along.
Seesaw Classroom Publishing Prompt
Print the Seesaw icon and display it on your agenda for the activities you students will document with Seesaw
Introduce the idea of keeping a journal or digital portfolio: Use our Student Intro Presentation as a starting point.
Discuss Seesaw classroom expectations and journal entry guidelines: Use our Guidelines as a starting point.
Model adding an item to Seesaw:
1. Class Code: Show students how to sign in to your class by scanning the QR code or entering the text code.
Email/Google: Join the class by entering the join code creating an account .
2. Take a photo of a student's work and demonstrate how to use the voice recorder tool to explain or reflect.
3. Talk about selecting the right name (or names) from the class list so that work gets added to the proper journal.
Have students add their first item: The easiest way to get started is to add a photo or video of a project your students
have already completed. Pick an activity students have recently finished (a worksheet, art project, or creation from
another app) and have them add it to Seesaw. Then get started with these activity ideas!
