Seesaw has been frustrating in the lower grades for the start of the year, but also very rewarding.
The frustrating part is the amount of time that it is taking to take a single picture and tell a story.  This can take upwards of 15-20 minutes.
It is also frustrating based on the amount of 1-on-1 help that is needed.
One last reason it is frustrating is the noise from one little movement of the iPad.

It is rewarding because it has been a great way to hear students tell their stories and to compare their writing to their oral language. It is especially helpful with decoding some of those not so easy to read words at the lower level!
This has especially been beneficial with ELL students.  Students can tell their story in Spanish and we can have it translated at a later time.
It has also been helpful to store all of their work in one place and to look back on it.
I have not utilized it as a parent, but that would also be a benefit I think.
Lastly, it has been fun to use some of the activities that the activities library has.  Today the students used it to work on adding details in a sentence.  They had so much fun, learned, and grew while focusing on our objective.

I haven't used SeeSaw yet in my classroom for special education...

I have used seesaw to assist during behavior lessons to show students how to break down the writing process into smaller steps to allow them to organize ideas more independently

I have started using it, but don't really like it.

I don't use SeeSaw in Title I, but am seeing that it is useful for students in the classroom setting. For the lower elementary, it seems it takes awhile to get the youngest students on it without a lot of teacher time getting started.

I am not using SeeSaw for activities as a special education teacher. I am able to see what my students are doing in their classrooms.

I tried a multiplication activity and I have looked at assignements kids have done in Mrs. Fonken's class.

I have really enjoyed using Seesaw, and have gotten a lot of great feedback from parents at conference time. They have enjoyed seeing their students' work, and being able to comment on them. It's also been VERY helpful at IEP meetings to be able to print off their PDF of all their work, along with a peer's work quickly. It's all on the same topic, and it's easy to help compare their writing. Downfall- in the lower grades I feel like it's harder to have them be independent. They still need a bit of guidance, but I hope the more that we use it the more they will be fluent and hopefully do it independently. They have LOVED doing the activities on there.

I use Seesaw for Reading, Writing, Math, and Science. It is great for journaling and parents to be able to see their kids' work.

I have not used it with my students. I just have looked at some students' works.

I try to use Seesaw but some of the activities don't have very good instructions. So my kids aren't able to do the work independently. Requires doing the activities together instead of independent practice.

I am using SeeSaw to have the students publish their writing. They take a picture of their drawing and record their story. They circle as they dictate their story to show what happened first, next, and last. It's been great for assessments to easily track where the kiddos are at all in one place rather than finding time to sit down individually with each kid. One downside is that it takes a lot of time for the students to get used to using the app and how to navigate it

I'm not using SeeSaw for activities because as an interventionist, I have only used it to view what students are doing in their classroom.

I am using SeeSaw to publish student's writing. They take a picture of their writing and then record their "first, then, and last".

The students are reading their stories that have they written. I have the stories in folders by topics.

I use seesaw for checking reading fluency, some language arts areas, and some math.

My students use SeeSaw as a place to publish their writing. They either take a photo and record them reading their writing or take a video of them reading their writing. I've also shared different journal prompts for them to respond to.
