The New Seesaw: What’s Changed Since 2020

What’s Changed Since 2020

If you last used Seesaw in 2020, the platform you remember barely resembles what exists today. During the rush of remote learning, Seesaw became a lifeline for teachers and families — but the innovation didn’t stop when schools returned to the classroom.

In the last three years, Seesaw has undergone the most significant transformation in its history. From AI-powered tools to LMS-level workflows and real-time insights, the Seesaw of 2025 is a completely redesigned platform built for today’s K–5 classrooms.

Here’s what’s new — and why so many former customers are coming back.
