Setting up seesaw and preparing home learning option
|
My go to learning tool to create a dialogue for remote home learning is SEESAW. There are others that some schools will use, Google Classroom, Showbie, Class Dojo etc. But in my opinion, Seesaw is the easiest to use and quickest to set up. In this video, I quickly demonstrate how to set up a class and get the home learning option enabled.
