Kelley Dougherty’s Success Story

Seesaw supports accessible and differentiated learning by allowing students to choose the tools they need to easily express their learning experiences in an independent way. Students can capture projects created and explain what they learned in the process while highlighting their own interests and discoveries.

In my class, students are given time in the morning to explore their own interests at stations of choice…whatever they are interested in or creating/building, they are asked to capture it in Seesaw so the teacher and parents can see the beginnings of an interest-based project. A few years ago a child in my room barely spoke in front of the class and kept to herself most days. One day while reviewing student entries, this child had sung using the video feature. I never knew this was an interest because she rarely shared. We used this as a starting point for her own project where I was able to help her move from creating a poem about kindness to working with the music teacher to add notes to the poem thus writing her own song which she recorded all the steps on Seesaw and then used the video tool to capture playing on the xylophone while singing. This entire project which started with Seesaw tools allowing her to privately show an interest, turned into a time in her first grade year when she felt seen and confident to eventually share her song with the entire elementary school via video. Her parents loved being able to see this unfold every step of the way via Seesaw!!

Students can capture projects created and explain what they learned in the process while highlighting their own interests and discoveries.
