- 2 Truths & 1 Lie
- Educational Duct Tape Question: How can I hear from all of my students?
- Giving kids choice, agency, and options increases your ability to hear from everyone.
- What tools can assist with providing choice?
- Remove barriers for students by selecting tools that allow more students to participate.
- Ask yourself, “How can we leverage tools that my students and I already use?”
- Seesaw - An any age tool!
- Seesaw breakdown:
- Teachers push out activities (assignments) to students.
- Students can respond to an activity as directed or more open ended.
- Many ways for students to respond and show their work - Picture, video, draw, video of drawing, text, links, files, audio
- Seesaw can act as a LMS. Think Google Classroom + digital portfolio + parent communication!
- The Easy Ed Tech Podcast episode discusses Seesaw + Book Creator: https://classtechtips.com/2020/10/06/icons-in-early-childhood-082/
- “I already have Google Classroom. Do I need Seesaw?” - It doesn’t have to be an either/or. Depends on goals and learning environment.
- Could be used for only a couple of students for those that need more ways to respond. Lots of complementary aspects of using it.
- Seesaw breakdown:
- BookCreator - audio, video, picture responses for students.
- From Jake’s Blog - 16 types of Media you can add in Book Creator!
- Great for a culminating project and for students publishing work, but also could also be for everyday learning note-taking or journal.

- Easy Ed Tech podcast - “My #1 EdTech Tip for Teachers”
- Google Slides is another great example of an easy tool that can be leveled up and has many uses. It depends on your intention of using it.
- When you try things out, we find out what direction we want to take.
