On this episode of the TechEduactor Podcast, we discuss how Seesaw, a popular portfolio, and student blogging application is transforming how students can imagine themselves as publishers and producers of high-level creative projects. When teachers talk about how they use SeeSaw, you end up hearing about all of their favorite and most engaging lessons. That is what happened on this episode of the Tech Educator Podcast. We talked about so many different ways to use Seesaw we had to keep a list. Jennifer Judkins and Sam Patterson have really outdone themselves this time with their unbridled endorsement of SeeSaw, a content creations/ portfolio/ story telling app that students as young as Pre-K can use independently. Joining two of our favorite hosts were a great panel from SeeSaw. Angela, Seesaw’s community manager,Sophia Smith and Elementary Seesaw ambassador and Julie Jacobs, a high school Seesaw ambassador. Sophia and Julie both teach with Seesaw and Julie uses it with high school seniors. Listening to this podcast you will be struck with how many ways the app can empower kids to reach beyond the walls of their classroom, There is even a great discussion of how the app actualy empowers kids. The interface is so simple and the design so straightforward that even pre-literate students can use the app the share their learning.
