Kari Kenepp’s Success Story

I always knew that Seesaw was a great tool for formative assessment but a few years ago I put it to the test! 🙂 I couldn’t resist the pun! I taught first grade at that time and my students were really struggling with some math concepts. I decided to try a new approach- small group math stations. My students completed Seesaw activities based on the whole group lesson taught that morning. When I pulled students to my table, I quickly reviewed their Seesaw activities (using my iPad) and checked for understanding. I could see their errors almost instantly! Students had their own iPads at the table and corrected their work with my support. I had the chance to reteach quickly before they practiced a skill 10 times incorrectly. Seesaw helped me use formative assessment in a more efficient way, which resulted in better support for my students.
