**Named Best App of 2015 by Graphite Common Sense Media, American Association of School Librarians, and Richard Byrne's Free Tech for Teachers**

FEATURES:
Easily Capture Student Learning in Any Form
∙ Students can use photos, videos, drawings, text notes, links or PDFs to show what they know and store evidence in their digital portfolio. You can also import from 100s of other apps.
∙ When students add to Seesaw, content is uploaded, organized by student, and accessible from any device.
∙ Teachers can browse work from the entire class or for a single student. Optionally, use folders to organize work by subject area project, or assessment standard.
∙ Teachers can flag items in the digital portfolio for follow up or to review at parent-teacher conferences.

Sign In Options that Work for All Ages
∙ Younger learners or classrooms with shared devices can sign in with a QR code.
∙ Older students can sign in with their email address or Google account.

Encourage Reflection and Provide an Authentic Audience
∙ Seesaw helps capture the learning process not just the end result. Students can use Seesaw’s built-in audio recording and drawing tools to reflect on what they've learned or explain how they got their answer.
∙ Seesaw gives students an authentic audience of their peers and parents, encouraging better work and real feedback. Teachers can control who can see what, and what feedback options are available, such as likes and comments.

Strengthen Connections Between School and Home
∙ Include families in the learning process by inviting them to view updates to their child’s Seesaw journal. Seesaw’s immediate, visual updates actually get seen by parents, provide encouragement for students, and cross language barriers.
∙ Teachers approve all new additions and comments before anything is shared with parents.

Seesaw Blogs — the easiest way to create a blog for your class!
– Create a public webpage for your class and give students a global audience for their work.
– Teachers and students can post a selection of Seesaw items to the class blog in just one tap. No other apps, websites or embed codes needed! All posts are teacher-moderated.
– Connect to other class blogs directly within the Seesaw app so students can easily comment and collaborate with students from other classrooms.

Teacher Resource Center at help.seesaw.me
∙ Getting started tips, professional development resources, FAQ.
∙ More than 100 Common Core aligned activity ideas.
∙ Personalized customer support if you need help.

How to find District URL:

please contact your School District’s Administration office for access URL and ParentVUE login information.
 
Example:
If on the ParentVUE web portal you are using
https://yourschooldistrictname.org/sismobile/Login_Parent_PXP.aspx
 
In the District URL field of the iPhone App, you will type following:  (***Please do not include /Login_Parent_PXP.aspx )
https:// yourschooldistrictname.org/sismobile

Here are some of the benefits of this application:
– Each school menu shows which foods are available that week
– Schools can enter lots of information about the foods they serve, including name, photo, description, nutritional details, allergens, and ingredients. Now you don't have to wonder whether that beef sandwich they're serving this week is the same mystery meat you had for school lunch 20 years ago. You'll know just how healthy and tasty the foods really are! (Please note that not all school districts provide all the data about their foods)
– We store the last 3 school menus you viewed, so you don’t have to keep finding them again.

~~ Students LOVE this 5 star app ~~

*Amazing*
“Whenever I don't get homework I use this and it is helpful and useful. Usually apps either don't give you what you want or just give you the answer straight up. This app actually shows you the site the whole paragraph they found it in and more it's not like cheating”

*Wow!!*
“I only got this today, and it's already been a lifesaver. I've had apps that only helped with one subject or were too difficult to operate, but this one is so easy! I love it!”

*<3<3<3<3*
“It's way easier to search up things for hw instead of typing I really love the camera. I like how the whole system works!!! It helps me learn how to go search and get the answers for myself.”

What's Nearpod?

The Nearpod platform enables teachers, schools and districts, to use their iPads to manage content on students' iPads, iPhones, iPods or Macs. It seamlessly combines interactive presentation, collaboration, and real-time assessment tools into one integrated solution.

What Teachers Are Saying About Nearpod:

"My students love using the Nearpod app! It allows me to assess my students using polls, multiple choice questions, and open ended questions." – Natasha, Spanish Teacher – New York

“I am now able to engage all students during my lessons. There are many parts to Nearpod, but the one that creates active learners in my classroom is Draw It. This feature allows my students to literally draw on any slide I push out to their iPads. “ – Daniel, Teacher & Tech Specialist – New Jersey,

"Nearpod is a powerful tool! My students love it and it gives me so much flexibility in and out of the classroom. I was using Nearpod in my AP Biology class and one of my students arrived late due to a dentist appointment. Just as he walked in the door I asked a question and he answered it. After seeing the astonished look on my face he explained that another classmate had texted him the presentation PIN and he had been following along the entire period so he hadn't missed anything! Awesome!" Janell, Teacher – Florida.

"Nearpod was great and the ability to guide students through the presentation, while walking around the classroom was excellent. Of course the power comes from the interactive elements of the presentation." – Matt, Teacher – Middlesex, UK

How it Works:

1. Nearpod presentations: Create new slides or turn your Powerpoint, Google Slides or PDFs into interactive Nearpod presentations. Or choose from a ever-growing library of ready-to-use CCSS content from distinguished educators and publishers.
2. Engage your students on any device: Easily share synchronized lessons with students across all devices. Include interactive features such as quizzes, videos, polls, drawing tools, and more.
3. Instantly Assess Student Comprehension: Get real-time feedback + comprehensive post-session reports. Download report data and integrate it with your LMS.
