Seesaw Instruction & Insights Exclusive Collections
Seesaw’s Computer Science curriculum engages every student in foundational computer science concepts, starting in kindergarten. Address core strands in New York’s K-5 Computer Science and Digital Fluency standards on the platform built for student voice and creation.
Designed for Elementary
Empower young learners with inclusive characters, plugged and unplugged activities, and crosscurricular and real-life connections that inspire every student to see the impact of computer science in their lives.
Powered by the Most Powerful Learning Tools
Pencil and paper only go so far in supporting computer science skills, and other platforms are hard for young learners to use. Seesaw’s multimodal tools amplify fundamental skills at the core of computer science instruction.
Fits Every Classroom Throughout the Year
Lessons flex to fit into any instructional day, so they’re simple to integrate into core instruction, specials rotations, or designated computer science blocks with enough content to support Computer Science all year.
Seesaw allows me to differentiate instruction so that students can show me what they know in ways that feel the most comfortable to them. Students are able to type, write on paper then take a photo, digitally write or record themselves answering the questions.
