Seesaw


Seesaw is the Learning Journal provides opportunities for students and teachers to really think outside the box. Students can show their work and thought processes in real time by submitting a video of themselves working through a math problem, snapping a picture of a paragraph they wrote, recording themselves reading a poem, or uploading a file to demonstrate their learning. Encourage kids to submit a series of images along with notes that tell the story that connects them. Or let kids collaborate with each other using peer-to-peer feedback to offer suggestions on writing content, scientific hypotheses, or creative ideas.

Teachers at all grade levels and across all content areas can use Seesaw to keep digital portfolios of student work, including commenting on student submissions. You can communicate with families easily and share student work with them, or push out assignments to students to individualize instruction. You can also choose work to share with a broader audience via a blog. 

Here's one of the Seesaw activities I designed for the 11th grade students. Enjoy!

Voki

Voki enables you to create an avatar in your own voice using a talking character. You can customize your Voki to look like you or take on the identity of different characters such as animals, monsters. It is a really good way to entertain your students or help out the introverted ones! Here’s my Voki clown, enjoy!

Sutori

Teachers can use Sutori to share pre-made stories, construct their own, or create assignments that require students to build multimedia-rich stories. It is quite useful and fun! Here's my Sutori about All About Me for students to share information about themselves.

Storytelling - Storybird

Using storytelling when teaching children and adults is a valuable strategy. Stories allow learners to use their imagination more fully. This creativity process encourages free thinking and formation of innovative ideas. Learners are introduced to the intricacies of language that can be difficult to teach outright without a solid foundation. The flow of a story as the plot unfolds and the characters are developed also introduces learners to new words and solidifies their pronunciation. Many stories can be used to support the virtues that are important in society, home and school. Stories that develop character traits such as courage, wisdom, honesty, kindness and open-mindedness can be used to set the stage for emulation and can deepen understanding the subject. An engaging story draws all the learners' attention. So, here is our story created in Storybird, voiced by me and my friend Gözde Özendi. Enjoy!
