In part two of our discussion on Seesaw we explore how to get started without overwhelm, real examples of how Seesaw can be used across learning areas, and how it can function as a powerful formative assessment tool. We also share our honest reflections, what works brilliantly, what becomes tricky, and what to consider before rolling it out school wide.

If you’ve been wondering how to move to embedded classroom practice with Seesaw, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways

• Despite the difference in timezones, the Seesaw help team is very responsive to requests for help.
• Start small. Introducing Seesaw with one clear routine or learning task builds confidence for both teachers and students.
• Explicit modelling is essential; students need to be taught how to create quality multimodal responses.
• Seesaw supports all types of assessment through ongoing evidence collection and student reflection.
• Feedback workflows can be streamlined when expectations and processes are clearly defined.
• Consistency across teams or stages improves parent understanding and reduces confusion.
• Clear boundaries around notifications and communication help prevent teacher overwhelm.
• Successful implementation requires intentional planning, not just access to the tool.
