Seesaw FAQ

Yes, Seesaw is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Seesaw legit?
✅ The Seesaw app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I am using this app in my adult ESL class. Students are at various levels of literacy as well as various levels of tech savvyness. I love this app because all the students can participate regardless of their comfort level with technology. All the essentials - audio, video, images, text, links, etc can be done without leaving the app which makes it ideal for beginners.
Mother using app
Love this app it’s very helpful and easy to use. Only thing I wish is that we as parents could save the pictures. We are sent some of the cutest pictures of our son and can save them
Great Classroom Tool
I love using seesaw to connect with families through announcements and individual messaging. I can share student work samples, classroom photos and videos, and newsletters. Students have opportunities to share their work with families, who can comment on what they see. Students can also complete tasks in a safe online environment.
The scheduling tool is also great to plan when content and posts will be shared.
Such a gift for teachers!
I cannot say enough about how much it means to me to have seesaw. There is not enough room to write all of the ways it can help and how faceted the lessons are. There are a ton of pre-designed lessons to use and also easy steps to make your own. It can be streamlined with your current curriculum and use for group group work individual work, another way seesaw makes life better is to help show teachers what’s going on in the classroom on a daily basis and during conferences, especially if they are virtual conferences:)
Great for Music Teachers
I love to use Seesaw in my elementary music classroom. I often post short videos of classroom activities for families to enjoy. I get a lot of positive feedback from families about these little snapshots of our music room.
Wonderful tool!
Seesaw is a wonderful tool that empowers students to become expert learners by providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression. It supports diverse learning needs, fosters collaboration, enhances communication between teachers, students, and families. I highly recommend it to any educator looking to enrich their students’ learning experience.

Seesaw!!
I have enjoyed using Seesaw for many years! It has grown and developed into so many things since the beginning. I love that it connects families in more meaningful ways to their child’s education and learning!
Seesaw fun
I love using Seesaw in my classroom. It is an engaging tool for my students and I love that I can also create activities for them. I love how parents can see what their kids are doing as well. I use this as the primary way of communicating with parents as well.@Seesaw
Best Platform!
Seesaw is the best platform to use in the classroom. With Seesaw, I can connect to my families and they are able to see their child’s work and pictures of their child while their child is at school. I can keep track of my students’ progress in various skills and easily assign work to my students which they can complete independently. I am a Pre-K teacher, so it is a big plus to have a platform that my young students can use to create and showcase their work!
