thursday, june 30thIt's no secret. We use a lot of paper at Aurora Public Schools. A lot of that paper we send home gets thrown away. WHY not post those assignments to Seesaw? I consider Seesaw a "must have" app for every classroom. Parents can immediately see what their child posts to Seesaw. Seesaw is the best app when it comes to making your students' thinking visible. Come and get your classes set up today!
