I learned about using the shortcut to add icons to my directions!

# data[].attributes.body
I also LOVE this activity editing tool! It allows me to use the skeleton of what someone else has created while adding my own flair/wording!

I learned how to schedule when an assignment is posted. This will be great for planning ahead!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to make an activity.  I would also want to include a picture in order for students to see a model of what this looks like.  I m sure my directions need to be clarified as well.  But I thought this would be a way to provide additional practice with trick words where students need to explain how parts of the words follow known phonics rules and other parts are the parts we have to memorize.  I think that if students have to explain their thinking it lifts the DOK.

Adding our own instructions will be helpful in K when they cannot read yet.

# data[].attributes.body
The lessons in the "getting started guide" will be helpful to ensure that we are introducing students to what they need to know about seesaw.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to assign an activity to my "test" class! As the teacher, I was able to approve and comment on the work my "test" student posted.

# data[].attributes.body
I created and added recorded instructions to a simple number sense activity. This very simple activity could be used at the beginning of the year to get students used to the pen tool and submitting work.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to edit an assignment. This will save time so we don't have to create everything from scratch. I then viewed that activity as a student to see how it appears from their perspective.  It is very helpful to do this so we can better assist them.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to add test students to my list. I also experimented with making a class activity. I like the use of the 3 dots with the icon shortcuts page.

Here is a response to an activity I created. I was able to learn that I had created the directions incorrectly. Students will not be able to create a video to respond to this assignment. I would also need to model and practice this activity so students are able to complete the task.

# data[].attributes.body
I found a hidden sight word activity, added my own directions using icons and a recording, and got to practice the activity as the sample student!

I created my first class (I wasn't completely done with training yet), added students, explored the activity library, changed the directions and added to my library. I also downloaded the two apps. Once I work through the training, I plan to then go in as a student and practice from that point of view.

I created a class, and assigned two different activities. The first, I responded to as a student using the drawing tool. I read out loud and marked up words as I went - what an awesome way for me to be able to track student's decoding abilities or track sight word mastery! I also assigned one assignment to an individual and sent it back to the student with a comment.

Added sample classes for Advanced and Beginner bands at each elementary school. Added beginner band activity that small group could work on during a lesson for review while I work with another small group.

Jaclyn Read - I was able to create activities that incorporate student fluency with using the fundation stories. The students will read the story, circle words that are relative to the skill during the unit, type the word, and mark the words up. They will also read the words they decided to circle within the story. I created these activities for Units 2-17.

The ability to assign projects to students by group/grade/individual students will be incredibly useful for how my students are split up in orchestra - I like this flexibility in this option.

I spent most of my time making a copy of the slide deck and modifying it into a users guide for me to print off a hard copy so I can reference it at later date as needed. When I was finished I searched the communtiy activities for activities I thought would fit in my room and saved them to my personal library. I also modified on activity so that it would be better suited for my classroom and saved that to my personal library.

# data[].attributes.body
I practiced making  a sandbox class. Then I assigned an activity I created for my class to my sandbox class. I completed the activity as a student and submitted it . I was able to go into my teacher account, approved the post and comment on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to add a  test class and additional test students the log in as one of the sample students and see what the students see.

I also learned how to take an activity from the activity center, make a copy of it and then modify/edit it. It allowed me to take an activity that was already created, add examples with videos and audio directions. Thanks Lisa!

I went into the Journeys resources and uploaded some of the projectables so my students can practice their vocabulary strategies online. I also did some digging in the community activity library and found some awesome stuff. I spent a bit of time adding instructions and recording voice overs, as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I am learning how to do my sandbox class. I will love incorporating all the assignments in the classoom!

# data[].attributes.body
I added voice instructions to an activity I had already completed. I also created a 7 day plan for the Seesaw Student Challenge. Then, I began to create an activity to go with our first story in Journeys which will be a beginning of the year opinion writing prompt and require students to use the camera and record themselves reading it.

# data[].attributes.body
Made a sandbox class and browsed the community library for orchestra/string instrument related activities that I found useful. "Liked" these activities to add them to my own personal library. These activities could also be utilized in station style while I was working with a certain student or group of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I created a sandbox class to practice assigning activities for the students. I went to the getting started tab for 4th grade and assigned a weekly reflection and goals activity for the students to complete. I also have been researching math activities to like, so I can edit in my library.

I made a FUNDATIONS fluency drill practice for Grade 1. I did not record voice directions yet, since I'm listening to the conversation on Zoom, but I will add that. I also am wondering how to get some of the pages in the document to be turned the correct direction. Can this be done on Seesaw?

I learned how to download the seesaw app and how to work through the app. i also started my library and looked at the different activites.

# data[].attributes.body
I  created an original activity (one that I actually do on the second day of school).  I practiced making a template, adding the directions, using the icons, and assigning the activity.  I also worked on using the community library to find activities.  I practiced editing the activities and adding my own voice instructions.

# data[].attributes.body
I turned an assignment previously completed in the classroom with pencil and paper into an online activity that can be completed at home or in school. I learned to use the note tool as a template for students to add their answers in order for me to view and offer feedback after completing the activity. I also added voice instructions.

# data[].attributes.body
My first time using Seesaw.  I will be interested in seeing how it works when I can use it as a co-teacher after I get an invite from my K teacher.  I was able to create a sandbox class and add students.  The more I get to explore the more I will get it.  Learning a lot listening to others questions as I am exploring.  So much you can do.  I'm sure I will love it after I get more experience.

Captains keep track of everything in their Captain's Log while they are at sea and leave some interesting stories and notes for everyone to read. It's your turn to take charge and write about everything you see! 1. 🤔 Think about everything that happened today. What were the best moments?

# data[].attributes.body
I looked at the community links and explored the Seesaw app.  I looked at activities for the beginning of the year for kindergarten.  Even though I wouldn't be adding activities and would be just supporting my teacher, it is nice to know how Seesaw works and what is available. I chose an interactive Pete the Cat activity where the students have to retell the story after hearing it and drag story items on the screen.  I also added my own voice to the directions.

I created a fluency activity for v-e words using intervention materials designed for virtual learning (they are allowed to be copied and posted for virtual learning).   still need to upload a fluency rubric when I find the one I have stored in my computer files somewhere.  I also learned that I should create one class for all of my students so that I only have 1 QR code for students to scan.  I can the create  a different folder for each grade level within the class.  I can also be added to classrooms as a co-teacher to create and assign activities for students I work with.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the opportunity to review skills from the training in June and ask questions. The getting started guide is very beneficial for the first days of school. I found some goal setting activities for students to use to set up their portfolio. I want to continue to find a way to have various templates available for students to select for activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a second sample activity in which students will be required to upload a picture as a response. Recorded voice instructions as well. I also played with adding seesaw icon shortcuts into my instructions.

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions and problem solve through being a co-teacher in a classroom or using my own class to assign activities to students. I reviewed the link and was able to join in a class, create a folder and assign to a single student.  This will be useful to collaborate with teachers to differentiate for individual student needs.  I was also able to create a Sandbox class and assigned for my test student.  I had the opportunity to explore back to school activities to build relationships and to support the social emotional learning of students.  I found this activity to go with a book that I purchased last year.

I'm a Kindergarten para and will work as a co-teacher, but it is nice to learn how Seesaw works so that I may offer support to the students using it. I was able to create a test class and a sample student. I went in and added activities to my library so that I was then able to assign an activity to the students. I chose to assign an All About Me activity & then went in as the student to work on the activity and submit it.

It was fun looking through the different activities teachers have used with their students in the beginning of the year. It was encouraging to see that most of the activities revolved around getting to know their students. I really liked the way the original activity was set up and how simple it was, but thought it would be nice touch for the students to hear an example from their teacher as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I was able to find a template for students to share about what they did over their summer! I had never edited someone else's activity, so this was fun to be able to see how they created their assignment and then tweak/edit it to be my own! This specific activity gives students the opportunity to draw, type, and record their answers.

I looked through the activity library and saved some of the music activities that I thought would be helpful. Then, I experimented with editing them to meet my needs and to add ideas. I have also made a few of my own music activities using drawings. It will be great to make more of my own unique activities, but I also learned about the value of collaborating with teachers from the district and around the world. Using existing activities can save time, but it can also make way for new possibilities.
