Sample Mind Map

Utilizing Seesaw in the classroom allows teachers to monitor student progress and tailor lessons to individual needs. Teachers can assign custom lessons based on each student's skill level, ensuring appropriate challenges.

Sample Mind Map

Abigail will use the app during math centers at school. Abigail will be working on counting. Abigail will follow the directions and count 10 apples.

As a teacher, it is difficult to have one on one attention with each student. Seesaw allows for me as the teacher to see how the child does in the academic area, and reassign different individual based lessons for each child. If one lesson is too difficult for a child, I can assign an easier lesson that better suits the skill set of that student.

Seesaw

How does it progress?

Abigail can use the counting math lesson and eventually move on to adding or matching or even symmetry.
Students will only be able to use the lessons that are assigned, so they progress only with guidance from the teacher.
The teacher has the control on what assignments the students use. The teacher will either create the assignment by using the app or use one of the lesson options available.

What will their first experience with the app be like?

The first experience for Abigail gave her the ability to use the app but not work too hard with her brain to do work. This made the app more enticing because it was fun.
Students will be introduced to Seesaw in a small group setting. The teacher will walk them through how to create an account and login individually. Each child will have their own login so teachers can track their progress. The first lesson will be done as a coloring assignment so they can get used to how it works. teacher will walk them through how to create an account and login individually.

How does it turn out at the end?

Abigail loves seesaw and having it as a math/literacy center.
In this project, we are focusing on the teacher to student relationship with the app and the benefits to the education process. Our project focuses on the importance of independent work by students, but teacher lead instruction.
Once the student has completed the lesson, they send it to the teacher. The teacher will review it, and determine what support the student needs in that academic area.

How does the teacher find the lesson?

The teacher will search the subject area desired and find what lesson fits with the unit the teacher is working on. If there is no lesson that falls within this category, the teacher will create the lesson on seesaw themselves.

How will the user find out about the app?

Abigail will follow the teacher’s instructions and gain access to the app.
The teacher will introduce Seesaw as a part of the curriculum. Students will use Seesaw during math/ literacy centers since the school is not on a one to one ratio on iPads.
