We have to focus on the ‘what’ and not ‘how long.’ The ‘what’ and the ‘why.’ What are you trying to do? Why do they need to show you what they know?

The challenge As schools and families ask more questions about technology use, Fond du Lac wanted to ensure digital tools served a clear learning purpose. The district needed students to have meaningful ways to demonstrate understanding, teachers to have evidence they could act on, and families to see the learning happening beyond traditional report cards.
What changed with Seesaw Seesaw helps Fond du Lac use technology with purpose. Students showcase their learning in multiple ways, while teachers use real-time feedback and assessments to guide instruction. Student portfolios also connect families to the classroom, making progress and accomplishments visible.
Award-winning and certified
PURPOSEFUL LEARNING IN ACTION Hands-On Learning, Made Visible Students use Seesaw to capture physical projects, record explanations, and demonstrate understanding. Learning doesn’t have to happen entirely on a device to be documented and shared.
Evidence That Challenges Assumption A Seesaw assessment revealed that second-grade students understood coin values better than teachers initially believed, helping educators confidently move forward to the next learning standard.
Every Student Has a Voice With drawing, audio, video, and photographs, students can demonstrate what they know in ways that match their strengths and learning needs.
Families Connected, Near or Far From grandparents in the United Kingdom to parents away on military duty, Seesaw helps families stay connected to everyday learning through student portfolios.
