Seesaw is a powerful classroom app that allows for meaningful student engagement. It acts as a digital portfolio tool that allows teachers, students and parents/carers to interact in an online platform. 

In Seesaw, students can capture their learning through the use of creative tools to take photos, draw, record videos and more. Teachers have the opportunity to create activities to share with students and provide feedback. Parents and carers can see their own child’s work and leave comments for encouragement. For parents and carers, Seesaw is primarily used as a way to keep families in the loop on the learning their child is doing at school.

Each student at Foxwell State Secondary College is enrolled in a Seesaw class for each of their timetabled classes. They are also enrolled in a Seesaw class for their House. Students may additionally be enrolled in Seesaw classes associated with their extra-curricular activities.
