It is very student friendly, and can be done independently, with a partner, or in small groups. The teacher would need either a green screen, a large piece of green fabric (or sheet), or a large piece of green paper.

There are several options that can be included in these lessons such as polls, quizzes, drawings, and constructed response questions. One of my favorite aspects of this website is that teachers can control the pacing of the lesson. Teachers can choose when it is time to proceed to the next slide and move the students' screens forward as well. There is also a student-paced lesson option as well.

If a student is off task, the teacher has the ability to change the screen that they are on to redirect them. There is also a chat option available to allow students to ask for help virtually.

This website can be used as a portfolio to show growth throughout the school year as well. When parents are invited to join SeeSaw, they will have the ability to view their child's work and will also be able to receive messages and announcements from the teacher. By implementing this one program, teachers have many options without having to remember many passwords (to other websites)!

It allows teachers to search and locate pre-made lessons for specific standards that are based on real-world problems. Each lesson is led by "Doug" through a video simulation and includes a hands-on activity or challenge to complete that revolves around the application of that standard.
