Seesaw knows it's a busy time of year for all teachers so they wanted to offer even more ways to get started using Seesaw. They created a mini-course called Seesaw 101 for teachers brand new to Seesaw. It's available to any Seesaw user for FREE. Completing the course will take about 30 minutes. Teachers simply create a Seesaw account then go to app.seesaw.me/courses to sign in and get started! Share with anyone that can benefit.

Back to School Seesaw Go!
Using Seesaw Go QR code games are a fun, interactive and engaging way to get your students actively involved in the learning in your classroom. I created this game as a way to have your students practice using the FREE learning journal Seesaw, while reflecting on the beginning of a new school year. This would be a fun activity after you have introduced Seesaw to your classroom and your students have become familiar with the basics of using this tool. Click the image below to download the game! Happy Seesawing!

Book Creator Resources for the Classroom
One of my absolute favorite apps for the classroom is Book Creator. This is such a versatile app that can be used across a variety of grade, subject and topic areas, making it definitely worth the $4.99 price (available at half price if using Volume Purchasing Program).
