Time Saving Tip

Send Newsletters with Seesaw

Idea 1: Use the Note tool to write up notes for the upcoming week. Just a 1, 2, 3 list is fine! Tag with “Everyone” to send home to all parents.

Idea 2: Create a word cloud with topics from the week using http://www.wordclouds.com/ or Word Clouds app. Upload using the Camera Roll/Upload File tool. Record a voice recording explaining what students did this week.
