A Digital Portfolio that Couldn't be Easier to Set Up

Seesaw Online Portfolios


If you've been teaching long enough, you remember the big push for portfolios, first on paper (with gigantic accordion folders to follow students every year), then online. The hue and cry has died down, but the digital portion is now an easy solution with a website and app called Seesaw.

The teacher sets up the class and students' first names. A simple handout for each student with a QR code for parents to access their child's work goes home. Parents download the app for their iPhone or Android, and have instant access to the portfolio.

A quick scan of a QR code in the classroom sets up an iPad, and students get to work, taking photos or videos of classroom assignments. They can add text or audio commentary as well.

Since it's easy to use, this is a great app for K-6, and very handy if you're a 1 iPad classroom.
