Caroline Moore, Parent I think Seesaw is a fantastic app. | Caroline scrolling through Seesaw app on mobile device. |
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. |
