Adding comments to student work does help "push their thinking" and motivates them to continue on! Audio comments are also an added bonus in this time of remote learning. Keep connecting with our students.๐

Hey Chromebook users! We have exciting news: Draw and record is available on the web! Students use draw + record to explain their thinking as they problem solve in real time, giving you powerful insights.
If your school is faced with closure, you can create a supportive remote learning environment for students.
Follow our step-by-step guide to set up your class or school with remote learning codes:
How else can we support during this challenging time?
Students love to hear comments from someone else and also love when an administrator or co-teacher "pops" in to add a comment. Another motivating idea for keeping students feeling connected. ๐
When students complete Exit Tickets on Seesaw, teachers gain valuable insights into students' progress AND families get that all-too-important window into their child's learning. Win win! Who here uses Seesaw for Exit Tickets? Any tips?
Help all learners by providing recorded instructions and comments back to students. Hearing the teachers voice keeps that connection going, saves Parents from reading them AND empowers learners to be more independent. ๐
Oral and verbatim written instructions on

are perfect for this. Ensuring students actually listen/read before getting started ... a different story ๐
