Showbie supports assignment management and feedback across primary and secondary. Seesaw is purpose-built for primary classrooms and trusted by schools, local authorities, and education systems to support sound pedagogy and evidence of learning at scale.
Why schools & councils choose Seesaw
Multimodal
learning
that puts pupil voice first
Seesaw is built specifically for primary educators and pupils, with intuitive, creative tools that allow pupils to explain their thinking through voice, drawing, video, and hands-on learning.
Showbie is commonly used in upper primary and secondary settings. Seesaw is designed to reduce barriers for younger pupils while giving teachers clear insight into learning.
Built for Primary Learning Across Devices
Seesaw works beautifully on iPad for young learners and supports shared and low-device classroom environments. As pupils move through primary and device strategies evolve, Seesaw remains accessible across the web and on Chromebooks, so schools and councils do not need to change platforms or add devices over time.
A shared learning loop, not just assignments
Seesaw provides a comprehensive learning platform that connects pupils, teachers, and families to support teaching, reflection, and meaningful engagement in one place. Families don’t just see grades or files. They see real learning in pupils’ own voices.
What Seesaw delivers for primary at scale
An all-in-one learning platform
Seesaw supports day-to-day teaching while providing consistency across classrooms and schools. Instruction, learning evidence, and family engagement live on one secure platform.
Pupil-driven digital portfolios
Learning captured online and offline builds a rich picture of progress over time, supporting reflection, transition, and continuity across year groups and schools.
Responsible AI for primary classrooms
Seesaw AI helps educators plan, assess, and communicate more efficiently, while keeping AI out of pupils’ hands and professional judgement firmly with teachers.
Built to support system-wide implementation
Seesaw is designed to support use across schools, clusters, and local authorities without adding complexity for teachers and pupils.
• Secure, privacy-first platform compliant with GDPR and UK GDPR
• Consistent experience across classrooms and schools
• Supports council-wide rollouts and long-term adoption
• Designed to evolve with curriculum, pedagogy and technology strategies
Even with very young pupils, Seesaw is incredible. Once they learn how to use it, they’re so proud of what they share, and families feel genuinely connected to learning at home.
