The Seesaw classroom is a platform which students respond to activities and upload learning to their journal. This is used in the classroom. Students log into the app to complete activities, parents do not need access to this. 

Seesaw Family is a portfolio of their child's learning. This application is a way to share and provide transparency of the learning that is taking place in the learning environments. Teachers and student upload learning for families which is visible for families.
