Capturing Student Voice and Learning Needs with Seesaw | Learning Loop Podcast Episode 12
Channel: Seesaw
Date: 2024-01-17

In this episode, instructional technology specialist Kathy Hurlbert shares how she uses Seesaw in her school district. Kathy started with Seesaw back in 2014 as a classroom teacher in Texas. She needed a way to check individual student's understanding through their recorded explanations. With Seesaw, she learned that she can easily identify learning gaps and target interventions.

Now supporting multiple schools, Kathy trains teachers on how to use Seesaw. Its features like voice recordings, formative assessment, and accessibility tools make it great for supporting learning. She advises starting small with one new Seesaw feature at a time. Kathy highlights engagement benefits too. Seesaw gives transparency into learning for families to view and comment. She encourages teachers to motivate students by connecting with an authentic audience. Just like with traditional assessments, Seesaw data informs targeted instruction. Kathy shares her stories of teachers seeing huge gains through small groups informed by Seesaw assessments.
