Class Learning Story

11/24/2021

1 Comment

 
Picture
This year I have continued on my learning story journey with parents. This is where I have changed how I share learning information, notices, ideas, celebrations and more! I switched last year from a traditional newsletter type deal to this. Something visual and shared on Seesaw - the platform we use as a class and school. 

I have already shared my playful learning story template which families get for reporting on playful learning that is happening. 
This is another template that I made on google drawings. I simply duplicate this each week and then add in or change what I need to. This gets completed each Sunday and shared with parents looking forward to the next week. This was really simple to create - but you can use my template link below to make a copy of and use in your own classroom too!

Seesaw and numeracy

3/28/2021

I went to a Maths conference yesterday and was thinking about how amazing Seesaw is for creating visible thinking and authentic opportunities to gather voice for problem solving, noticing and more! Then I had a horrible thought that I hadn't actually have ever done a targeted Maths PLD with Seesaw!! I scrolled through my Youtube channel thinking I had but I just seemed to have missed it!
But never fear! I whipped up this introduction and very surface level peek into some ways Seesaw and numeracy can go together! In the holidays I will run a deeper level PLD with insight into activities; but this can get you through until then! Seesaw has opportunities to document, create, share and reflect for both teachers and students with their learning. I love the way that it can make it easier for both teachers and learners.

Seesaw has an amazing new recording update that allows you to add voice recording to activities and templates for students to listen to! There can be up to 20 voice recordings on each page on Seesaw to help assist students in having explicit instructions or clear parameters for their learning. 

This update came about last week but has already been a popular and well loved addition to the amazing tools Seesaw has.

Today I updated my Seesaw student and teacher progressions. These were created awhile ago to use as goals, progressions and a resource teachers and students can use when implementing Seesaw. It covers three different levels of progressions: beginner, proficient and advanced. There are five areas to the progressions:
  • tools
  • activities
  • feedback
  • posting
  • blog

These can be displayed in your class, used for formative assessment of students using Seesaw or to help teachers see how they are using it, to build to an advanced level of use. 
Grab these updated versions below!

Ulearn 2020 - Get sweet with Seesaw

10/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today I presented at Ulearn2020. It was really different this year being a completely online course and I ran a presentation called 'Get Sweet with Seesaw'. It was an introductory session to Seesaw, unpacking four key ways that Seesaw can be used with students and in your classroom. 
The four key themes were:
  • document the learning
  • create the learning
  • share the learning
  • reflect on the learning
Picture
Picture
It gave examples of what those themes meant for use with Seesaw, how it is represented in the classroom and then there was some play-exploration time for teachers to use the tools in practice. I find the best way to learn is via hands on learning opportunities and really value learning by using Seesaw. 
If you would love access to my slides you can click on the link below! Otherwise any questions about what I shared please get in contact. I love Seesaw and really see the benefits for learning! 
Yes! I would love to see the slides!

Seesaw listen and write maths activities

9/14/2020

3 Comments

 
I love all the new updates that Seesaw is making to continue to meet the needs of our learners and our wants as teachers. The multiple recording tool now makes it easy to create interactive and multi-purpose activities for all year levels! This is a great way to gain a snapshot of what the students are thinking and see exactly what they are doing in their learning. 
Picture
These listen and write maths activities allow students to first listen to the recording of me saying a number; then write it down in the space next to it. There are four pre-made ones that cover numbers to 10, 20, 100 and 1000. Students can listen as many times as they need to, to figure out the number. 
These can be used for formative assessment, number hot spots, summative assessment or even fun maths activities! 
​Find the links to all four Seesaw activities for yourself on this link here!

Lots of teachers use 'i can' statements or progressions in their classroom for students to track their choices or actions. There are lots of different resources out there that could be used in your classroom, with these being my version. 

This Seesaw checklist is a great variation for students to check they have all the parts of their learning. There are three templates in this pdf that can be used in your classroom. Download the pdf below.

Seesaw videos

8/14/2020

With New Zealand going back into lockdown, many teachers are back to using distant or online learning to keep the learning happening. Part of the first lockdown we had here, I shared info on how to create your own sticker books and stickers for Seesaw and motivational rewards. These can be updated each day or based on the activities students complete and be a way of keeping students involved or interested in their learning. 
I have created a video below on how to find and access past Seesaw sticker books; with links to how to create your own sticker book using my template and sticker templates. 

This second video is of the amazing new update to Seesaw! You can now link directly to Seesaw activities for students to complete without having to go through the activity portal. Before it was hard to get students to complete activities online by simply talking about where to go, how to access it and using visuals as prompts. 
Now you don't need that - you can generate the student link and share it with them directly. They get taken straight to the activity to complete and then can fill it in! So easy and handy. Check out my video showing you how to do it!

End of week reflection on Seesaw

8/8/2020

0 Comments

 
For those of you that love reflection opportunities for your kiddies, this Seesaw activity could be the next best thing for you - looking to a set up for weekly reflection questions. We use reflection activities weekly and parents love to hear what their children have loved, learnt and want to learn about.
Picture
This is a three part activity where they can use the video to record themselves. Of course they can use other tools too but the video tool is a great way to capture students, their thinking and emotions whilst sharing or reflecting. 
Want to see it in action? Click on the image to view my example to see how it works and how the new multiple video tool looks in an activity. 

Want the activity on Seesaw? Click on the button below to be able to add it to your Seesaw library.
