Seesaw is a digital portfolio that works similarly to Edmodo and Facebook in which once students upload their work and the teacher approves it, the items show up in a news feed. Features of the app include the ability for students to upload photos, drawings, files, videos, sound clips, website links, and take notes online (as well as edit). Teachers signed up for the app receive email updates on how to incorporate Seesaw into their lesson plans aligned with Common Core Standards
Where Seesaw shines is that it serves as a portfolio, without the paper clutter of an actual portfolio. Similar to Quizlet, the users can differentiate the projects (for example, a teacher could assign a Color-Symbol-Image activity utilizing the drawing activity, then work on public speaking skills using the microphone). I would personally incorporate this app in my classroom for a multigenre project (and may use it for my own multigenre project for my Language Arts methods class).
