Unlike paper-based activities, Seesaw activities can be tailored to individual learning styles, reading levels, languages, and pupil needs. With multimodal tools like drawing, video, and voice recording, even emerging readers and non-verbal pupils can confidently learn and share their thinking in ways that suit them. Pupils can participate equitably, and teachers can support necessary adjustments.
Anywhere, Anytime Access
Seesaw makes learning accessible wherever life takes pupils and their families. Whether a child is at school, at home, travelling, or transitioning between households, they can easily access learning materials and assignments. Divorced parents, deployed military members, grandparents, aunts, and other relatives can stay informed and engaged, no matter where they are, ensuring consistent support and connection.
5 Interactive & Engaging
Seesaw’s built-in multimedia tools and interactive elements make learning more dynamic and engaging for pupils, enabling them to learn and share in ways that work best for them. Teachers can also add audio or video instructions for non-readers or English language learners.

Real-Time Feedback
Seesaw’s built-in AI-powered assessments provide pupils with instant feedback, while visual results help teachers adjust misunderstandings quickly. Teachers can also give timely comments—text, voice, or multimedia—to help reinforce understanding while the learning is fresh.
Supports Pupil Agency
Young learners gain voice and choice in how they demonstrate their knowledge. With multimodal tools like drawing, video, and voice recording, even emerging readers and non-verbal pupils can confidently share their thinking in ways that suit them. Seesaw puts Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into action through engagement, representation, action, and expression.
8
Environmentally Sustainable
Many schools are adopting a paperless approach to support government and eco-friendly initiatives. Seesaw helps schools become more sustainable by reducing paper waste and printing through offering thousands of digital activities for teachers to choose from, modify, or create their own from any PDF resource.

Through digital learning resources and Seesaw’s pupil portfolios, educators can keep all pupil work neatly organised including projects, music, art, and activities. Administrators can review dashboards and analytics to track pupil progress over time, easily share work with families, and view family participation metrics – all on one platform.
Easy to Update or Customised
Printed learning resources can quickly become outdated due to historical events, policies, or learning requirements. Seesaw’s instructional resources can be revised at any time— eliminating the need to discard, replace, or reprint materials. Seesaw AI acts as a personal assistant for teachers—helping them create custom assessments, removing the need for manual timing or transcription during reading fluency assessments, and instantly generating interactive, curriculum-aligned lessons. It helps teachers streamline instruction, saves time, and ensures every lesson is accessible and engaging for all learners.
