Associated Learning Standard(s): The resource may be generally applicable, if so, simply state that. List
any ISTE-S standards that seem to naturally align with the selected resource.
1a
Students articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them
and reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.
1b
Students build networks and customize their learning environments in ways that support the learning process.
1c
Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their
learning in a variety of ways.
1d
Students understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, demonstrate the ability to choose,
use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfer their knowledge to explore emerging
technologies.

3c
Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections
of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.
3d
Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and
theories and pursuing answers and solutions.

6c
Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects
such as visualizations, models or simulations.
6d
Students publish or present content that customizes the message and medium for their intended audiences.

RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

Seesaw is a learning journal for students. It also works as a digital portfolio. They can post videos and
pictures to share what they are thinking and learn while teachers teach their lessons. Seesaw is a safe space
for students to communicate and collaborate. Nothing is shared without teacher approval. Teachers can also
invite families to Seesaw to keep them in the loop about their child’s learning.
 INTEGRATION/IMPLEMENTATION IDEA - SCREENCASTING
How might you use this resource to promote student learning? Describe who will be doing the screencasting
– you or your students, and what purpose it will serve.
I did the screencast for the Seesaw App. Guiding the students on how to log in and complete their assignment
to Compare and Contrast.
For Students, Seesaw empowers students to independently document their learning with built-
in creative tools, and provides an authentic audience for their work. Students follow
simple tasks with easy instructions. It empowers students to create, reflect, share and collaborate.
For Families, Seesaw gives families an immediate access
into their child’s school day and makes communication with teachers easier.
For Teachers, seesaw saves time on organization and family communication, and
makes formative assessment easy.

Value-Added Rating Scale

3 2
The integration idea described:
• aligns to content standards
• transforms a lesson in a way that
would be impossible or very
difficult without it; very likely to
increase student engagement and
contribute to mastery of the
concept(s)
• optimal in a student-centered
environment where students are
active and engaged in learning
content
The integration idea
described:
• aligns to content standards
• enhances a lesson; likely to
increase student engagement
and support mastery of the
concept(s)
• will most likely be used by
the students directly
1
The integration idea described:
• aligns to content standards
• serves as a nice supplement to a
lesson but wouldn’t necessarily
play a critical role within the
lesson
• will most likely be used by the
teacher during a lesson (e.g., a
demonstration)

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
 Given the information above, how would the technology integration you described, using the selected
resource? (On the “Value-Added Rating Scale” above)
 Explain your rating based on the indicators on the rubric.

I give the value added a 2. It enhances the lesson by making it easier and a more efficient way to work. It
does not transform it. The app has the capability to transform a lesson for teachers in k-8th grade. I don’t feel
it can transform the high school students who would expect a more elaborate technology app.
