Step #7: Using annotations and drawings, tell us a bit about

what you learned.

Assignment #4: Setting up your own class

For this portion of the workshop I want participants to explore
the app on their own with less step-by-step guidance. I will
walk you through getting started, then let you explore and
complete these goals on your own. I will come to each work
station and help anyone who needs additional guidance.
Goals:
Create class
Import Roster (three people sitting near
you)
Adjust settings
Add student (someone sitting near you)
Approve Assignment
Tag Student

What is your specific learning situation?

How could you use SeeSaw in your class?
