Here are six tips to help parents and kids
get started using the Seesaw Class app.

00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:08.380
The first thing to do is download the free app.

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:11.980
You'll find it on the Google Play store if
you're using an Android device or on the

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:14.740
App Store if you're on an iPhone or iPad.

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:18.140
The next step is signing in to the Seesaw Class account.

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:22.100
To do that, you'll need the Home Learning
Code that was shared by your child's teacher

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:24.360
via email or as a printed handout.

00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:28.740
Once you have the code ready, open the app
on your device, choose "I'm a Student," then

00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:32.560
scan the code using Seesaw's built-in QR code scanner.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.240
You may need to give the app permission to
use your device's camera first.

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.500
If your camera's not an option, just use the keypad to type in the code letters and access your

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:41.640
Seesaw account.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:48.460
Once you're in the class, you'll find three main sections to explore: The Journal, Activities, and your Inbox.

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:51.970
The Journal is where students see the work
they've posted for teacher approval.

00:00:51.970 --> 00:00:55.660
Tap the green "+Add" button to see all the
ways to add to The Journal.

00:00:55.660 --> 00:00:56.440
Students can:

00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:57.920
Take a photo and mark it up.

00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.120
Draw a picture.

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:00.240
Record a video.

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.620
Upload a file.

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:04.740
Write a note, or copy and paste a link to share.

00:01:05.020 --> 00:01:10.240
In Activities, you'll see the assignments and lessons the teacher has posted for the students to complete.

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.780
And lastly, there's the Inbox, where you'll
find all the latest messages and notifications

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:17.860
from your child's teacher or school.

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.200
