We spent a lot of time researching ways to improve the way we report student’s learning and progress to parents and caregivers. We looked for the most efficient and timely way of sharing each child’s learning on a regular basis.
The system we chose is called Seesaw. Seesaw is an app which enables students to share what they are learning at school through a learning journal. Seesaw is learner driven more than teacher driven and also allows for parent feedback. This system ensures goals are current and relevant and the learning shared is up to date and therefore gives you an accurate picture of what they are achieving and where they need to go next. Seesaw is user-friendly, and is easy for both students and teachers to implement. Seesaw empowers students as young as 5 to independently create and organise their work in a digital journal, develop their academic voice, and collaborate with classmates. Only you can access your child’s learning journal.

Seesaw consists of two different applications.  The Learning Journal for teachers and students and Parent Access for parents. Seesaw facilitates parent communication with real-time notifications, giving you a glimpse of your child’s day and an opportunity to support learning at home.
Student’s work is posted in one of two stages. The first stage is the PROCESS stage where the learning process showing their workings and corrections or the need for them will be evident. This stage focuses on the area the child is developing and working on. 
The second stage is the PRODUCT stage where the child will post work that is completed and successfully achieved. In the left hand corner of each post will be a tag identifying whether the work is at the PROCESS or PRODUCT stage. Students will regularly add items to their learning journal such as photos, videos, writing or drawings.
