The educational landscape is ever-evolving, so flexibility is not just an added benefit, it is a necessity in today’s ever-changing educational landscape. In order to meet the diverse needs of students, teachers, and families, the Seesaw Learning platform is designed to be adaptive and responsive to meet each group’s unique needs.
But what does flexibility really mean in education, and why is it important for us to be measuring how much is present in our classroom? This blog is written to explain the importance of flexibility while providing you the right tools.
Personalised Student Learning at Scale
In a study conducted by EdTech Impact (2023), 88% of teachers believe that technology enables them to differentiate instruction in a more effective way. It is through Seesaw’s platform that teachers to personalise lessons and activities according to each student’s individual needs, no matter whether they require additional support or are ready to take on more advanced challenges. As a result of this flexibility, learners are more likely to engage in the learning process and achieve greater success.

Allow for Anywhere, Anytime Learning
There is no denying that internet access beyond the classroom has become more and more important as hybrid and remote learning models have risen in popularity. In Seesaw, students are able to document and reflect on their learning when, where, and how they wish. According to the Digital Learning Pulse Survey (2023), over 70% of students reported feeling more in control of their learning when using a flexible, digital portfolio-based platform like Seesaw.
Lindsay Toub, a 1st grade teacher shares how Seesaw enabled confidence through flexible learning environments: “I had one student who wasn’t really feeling confident about reading and by implementing a Seesaw station where they can read and record in a private space, they became a very confident, excited reader”.

Teachers are the backbone of education, and they deserve intuitive tools that enable them to do their jobs well. Using Seesaw’s user-friendly interface, educators easily create, curate, and adapt content. This ensures lessons are aligned with the needs and interests of students along with the curriculum requirements.
