Great Seesaw Updates #edtech #digitalclassroom @seesawedu

Seesaw is a great app that helps students and teachers maintain a digital presence in the form of an online portfolio.  If you haven't checked it out yet it's well worth your time, even if you don't have an abundance of devices in your classroom.  They rolled out a great update today with a bunch of notable features:

• Calendar View: No more scrolling back forever to find old items! Switch to calendar view and easily navigate back to a specific date to see older items. Watch the video.
• Link Type: Now you can add links to web pages or other student creations that don't export to the camera roll (ThingLink, EduCreations, etc.) to journals.  You can do this directly from Safari (tap Share and then More and turn on Seesaw) or by cutting and pasting a link to the iPad clipboard. Watch the video.
• Audio Comments: Now teachers & parents can leave audio comments on journal items.
• Front Facing Camera: You can now enable the front facing camera in the Seesaw camera.
