I think Seesaw is a fantastic app.

It means that we can immediately, that afternoon, talk to our kids about what it is they've been doing at school.  Caroline speaking to the camera.
Often there'll be photos or videos of them doing a group activity. Caroline with student watching video of skateboarding.
It just means that there's communication happening far more regularly than it ever did before, and we've got an understanding of what the kids are actually doing at school. Caroline speaking to the camera.
It opens the door to communication.  Caroline seated with student and Assistant Principal, watching laptop together.
So if I've got questions I can ask them through the app or I can just email the teacher directly.  Caroline meeting with Assistant Principal and Deputy Principal.
We feel that they're accessible because they're communicating with us a lot.  Caroline speaking to the camera.
We've found that getting information on a far more regular basis has helped us give opportunities to talk about what the kids are doing with the children and within the family.  Caroline seated with student and Assistant Principal, watching laptop together.
You know, their siblings also find out what they're doing.  Caroline with student watching laptop.
It is just so much more rich and it goes in so much deeper than just a, “How was your day, what did you get up to today?” Caroline speaking to the camera.
