Seesaw Digital Portfolios help PreK–5th grade students document learning and show growth over time. Students can capture assignments with photos, videos, and audio, upload digital work, and write reflections. They create and shape their own portfolios, self-assess against learning objectives, and save noteworthy work in highlights folders. Schools can use competency stickers and custom folders to collect evidence aligned with priorities such as creativity, communication, and critical thinking. Teachers control sharing, while student work remains private to the classroom by default. Seesaw lists integrations with Schoology, Canvas, and Google Classroom, plus Google, Microsoft, and Okta single sign-on. Districts can automate class, teacher, and student rostering through Clever or ClassLink. Security measures include encrypted content in transit, secure server communication, and regular third-party audits.
