A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

In my many years of teaching kindergarten, first and second grade I’ve experienced both the incredible impact that quality technology tools have in the classroom and also the frustrating challenge of keeping up with how quickly technology changes and knowing how to most effectively use these tools. I know there is not enough time in the day to teach all we hope, how tough it is to meet the needs of all our students, and keep families connected and aware of their child’s progress. Seesaw has been an integral part of my success in doing this over the last decade and I am excited to share with you all my best tips for using Seesaw to its full potential in your classroom.

During the seminar I will demonstrate how accessible, engaging and powerful Seesaw is in the K-2 classroom and prepare you to take your use of Seesaw to the next level. Whether you use the free or premium version of Seesaw, my seminar will enable you to use Seesaw’s multimodal tools to engage and support every learner, easily communicate with families what their child is learning, and enhance learning across all content areas.

I invite you to join me for a fun and informative day to discover new ways to use Seesaw and increase the effectiveness of its tools in your classroom. I will share my favorite, ready-to-use activities and assessments that save time and easily document student learning. My goal is to help you discover new ways to differentiate instruction and more efficiently communicate with families. You will leave with the necessary skills and a renewed excitement for how Seesaw can enhance and transform your classroom instruction and deepen student learning.

Sincerely,
Sue Holt
