Text of the page (random words):
and have students record there answers on the digital recording sheet there s nothing wrong with this at all i m just going to explain a different way to use seesaw and make student thinking visible here i should also note i also use a regular recording sheet for scoot activities i ll explain those below too it just depends on what we re working on and what i d like my students to accomplish so sometimes it s pencil paper sometimes it s seesaw review any content scoots can be used for any content area review use a scoot activity as an assessment to see where students are scoots are always more fun that a boring old pencil paper at your desk don t talk assessment scoots can be collaborative if you d like them to be students can work in partnerships or even in groups on tasks scoots can be easily differentiated for example i might have three groups of students one at grade level one approaching and one below scoots can be used as a center activity the prep is relatively easy and once students know how to do them you can switch out the content so they don t get bored and my all time favorite reason to use scoot activities movement scoots get kids up and moving which can be a game changer it brings the content to life a little more and gets kids engaged especially if you hide the task cards it almost adds the element of a scavenger hunt to the mix when we hide them and of course if you re using seesaw it ll make student thinking visible task cards these can be anything really math flash cards word problems pictures for vocabulary or anything you are working on with your students label each card with a number to correspond to the recording sheet you can find lots of these on teachers pay teachers if you search for a skill scoot ex addition scoot recording sheet students each need a recording sheet this usually looks like a grid or table with numbers one number for each task card when i m not using seesaw i always have kids put these on a clipboard so they can easily walk around the classroom and record their thinking if you re using seesaw seesaw will actually be your recording sheet and you won t have to actually prep anything for students just the task cards this recording sheet is from bright concepts 4 teachers and the math problem is from my seesaw pumpkin challenges pack now you can do this in lots of different ways that s the beauty of it do what works for you and your students i ll explain two ways below option 1 this is usually how i do it i like this option because students can do it over time and there s no need to finish in a set amount of days or time students are also able to work on this independently or in groups 1 hang your task cards up around the classroom i always tell the kids i ve hidden them they re not hidden at all i just say that and it adds to the motivation and excitement 2 teach students how to walk around the classroom quietly and match the problem with the spot on the recording sheet for example if a student finds card 5 they would place their answer or response to card 5 in box 5 on the recording sheet 3 students continue to walk around and complete activities or problems 4 if they finish early i always tell them to see if any friends need help if you want to use seesaw for this instead of a regular pencil paper recording sheet students will 1 find a task card 2 press the green plus sign in seesaw 3 choose the drawing tool or photo tool depending on the task card if it s a math problem you ll probably want them to choose the drawing tool to show their work if it s a vocabulary card you might want them to take a photo of the card then use seesaw to explain the word and use it in a sentence 4 use the text tool or the pencil tool to add the number of the task card make sure to explicitly state this 5 press record and complete the problem or task 6 upload your work with the green check mark here s a quick video on how to use the drawing tool to complete a task during a scoot and here s a quick video on how to use the photo tool to complete a task during a scoot option 2 this is a more fast paced option 1 students each place a task card at their desk 2 decide on a set amount of time for each problem anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes depending on the task and how much time students might need to complete it 3 start the timer students begin working on their problem at their desk 4 when the timer goes off students scoot clockwise or counterclockwise whatever you want just make sure to teach students how to do this first to the next task card and begin working on that one 5 make sure to explicitly teach and remind students how to match the problem with the spot on the recording sheet or if you d like to use seesaw 1 students each place a task card at their desk 2 decide on a set amount of time for each problem anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes depending on the task and how much time students might need to complete it 3 students begin a new upload in seesaw green plus sign and either photo tool or drawing tool explicity teach students how to add the number of the task card to the upload using the drawing tool or text label tool 3 start the timer students begin working on their problem and recording their thinking 4 when the timer goes off students upload their work green check mark and scoot clockwise or counterclockwise whatever you want just make sure to teach students how to do this first to the next task card and begin working on that one start back at 3 5 make sure to explicitly teach and remind students to add the number of the task card onto the seesaw upload using the drawing tool or text label tool i love the idea of digital scoot activities from erin at erintegration if you have access to devices these might be for you make sure to check out her blog post about them do you scoot in your classroom i d love to hear about it leave a comment assessments seesaw seesaw assessments assessment game changer using seesaw to make student thinking visible assessment time in the classroom every teacher s favorite jk we became teachers to teach right not assess but it s something we have to do and many districts mandate specific assessments at certain times of the year not to mention it s good to have something tangible and some legit data to share with parents and while doing report cards this is where seesaw comes in and can be a serious game changer for administering reading and document student assessments in the classroom seesaw is a digital learning portfolio for students i feel funny typing that because it s truly so much more and has the ability to help you flip your classroom to create a student centered classroom to break down the walls of your classroom to connect with other classes around the world to allow your students to connect with each other and their families which gives them an authentic audience to turn your students into bloggers and so much more you ll see samples throughout this post i guess this should be titled why not if you have access to any number of devices in your classroom even if you re not 1 1 seesaw can still be a game changer when it comes to administering evaluating and grading assessments by allowing students to work through assessments in seesaw it saves me the time of having to pull students one on one and sucking up a ton of teaching time i can assign an activity in seesaw or have students move through a center in which one of the centers is an assessment challenge by using seesaw it captures that specific moment in time now i don t have to sit one on one with every single student because i can have them working simultaneously on assessment challenges then i can revisit them at a later time this is a game changer for sure i can easily differentiate assessments in seesaw too i can assign students the same task in seesaw but i can differentiate the problems and content depending on my students and their needs below is an example i ve used in math i needed to know if students understood how to add with regrouping i had three groups of students one below grade level group 1 one at grade level group 2 and one above grade level group 3 each student was assigned a group and knew which assessment challenge to complete to show their understanding of the concept the great thing about this is after i reviewed the work if i noticed a student who did really well on their challenge i may have him her try the next problem same concept just differentiated with different problems the samples that students produce in seesaw make student thinking visible that moment in time and whatever that students knows is captured in seesaw and i can revisit it anytime even from the comfort of my couch at home seesaw can also be a huge help during parent teacher conferences instead of saying yes little billy is doing great and smiling i have evidence of little billy s thinking to share with parents through seesaw and vice versa i know i ve never been in meetings with parents where they say joey is so good at reading at home i don t know why he acts like he can t read with you yeahright with seesaw i have evidence of the thinking and learning happening in the classroom these assessment challenges are my go tos and i use them more often than any other of my seesaw challenges i decide on the content i place in each challenge and they can be used over and over across content areas there are so many ways to assign these challenges too hang them up around the classroom and have students move through them at their own pace like a scoot activity use them as an exit ticket have them at a center for students to complete have students work on them with a partner or in a collaborative group have a parent volunteer work with students on these if your students take devices home they could work on them at home have students work on them at the teacher table during group time use them as early finisher activities just like everything else in seesaw the possibilitie are endless don t forget it doesn t have to be fancy it can be as simple as a student taking a photo of something they ve completed and using the recording tool to reflect and explain if you only have a few devices and your students are sharing devices using seesaw to give assessments will still work seesaw makes it so easy to move between students the ipad is signed in to the class one time and anytime a student clicks the upload button green plus sign it will have the student choose his or her name from a list the devices and assessment activities can be placed at a center where students work through them in small groups you might place the assessment challenges at the teacher table and work with students through them together or independently while you re sitting there with them if you have access to a parent volunteer this might be another option have the parent volunteer call students over one at a time to complete the assessment challenge having the parent there can be helpful because the volunteer can keep students on task read directions and help students troubleshoot and answer questions in seesaw you have the option to allow students to see each other s work if you want and families to see work their students have uploaded if you want since these are assessments we re talking about you may or may not want to share them with other students and parents if you have family access enabled or if you are allowing students to view each other s work this is not a problem simply make sure that all posts must be approved before posting settings students new items require approval once the students have uploaded their assessment to seesaw you will be required to approve it before any other students or parents can view it simply do not approve these assessments the work will remain in the student journal and you will still be able to access the work at any time it just will not be visible for other students or parents to see until you approve it ready to get started with seesaw check out this post leave a comment inspirational quote piccollage quote quote project quotes seesaw inspirational quote project this is always a favorite project to do with students both for teachers and students because it lends itself perfectly to creativity and there are lots of different ways you could go with it the possibilities for writing evaluating forming an opinion and learning more about your students are truly endless with this project and administrators this would even be a fun project to completed with your staff check it out projects like these allow our students to be creative it gives them choice in their learning in the quote they choose and the actual creation of their project and students feel a sense of pride in their work no projects will turn out exactly alike even if students choose the same quote the critical thinking component is apparent when we ask students to evaluate the quote they ve chosen and to dig a little deeper into it s meaning we can also ask students to make connections to the quote and write a narrative about how the quote impacts them and why they chose it the possibilities with this project are truly endless scan the qr codes to explore inspirational quotes find one that really stands out to you and speaks to you write your quote down make sure to cite where the quote came from and take note of who said the quote teachers this is a great lesson on citation take a selfie or have a friend take a picture for you make sure to pay attention to the background plain solid backgrounds work the best for this project and leave some space somewhere for your quote you don t want your quote to be covering your face launch an app that allows you to layer photos and text pic collage seesaw google slides or phonto are some on my favorites add your quote to your photo have fun stylizing and editing just make sure your quote is easy to read for others you can always go back and make a fancy hard to read one if you want later don t forget to save your quote project to your device here s a quick video on how to do this with piccollage edu teachers the difference between piccollage and piccollage edu is that edu has no social sharing options there are no ads and no accounts are required read more here feel free to share this video with your students as well it s a step by step video now that students have created these beautiful inspirational quote projects the big question to ask is what will you do with them now print them out hang them on your wall it surely would make a nice bulletin board turn them in to google classroom but then what but how do we take it one step further how are we sharing student work with the world to inspire others twitter a class blog class instagram account seesaw print them out to hang around the school and inspire other students i challenge you to make sure you aren t missing this last step because it oftentimes gets overlooked and it may possibly be the most important and motivating step for ou...
