Hyperdocs and Seesaw


Hyperdocs are not docs with links! They are an amazing tool for differentiation, scaffolding and student choice. Here is a video explaining hyperdocs. Here is a website with samples of hyperdocs.

Here are some WBL hyperdocs being used in professional development and in 5th grade work.

Elementary Teachers:

WBLAS has purchased the paid version of Seesaw for Schools. Seesaw is a learning journal that our students will use to capture artifacts of learning in real time as well as a way to communicate with families. This version also has opportunities for assessment and data collection.

We know many of you have already been using Seesaw as your student learning journal and parent communication story. The excitement among teachers has been amazing!

If you had a SeeSaw account setup with your ISD624.org email your SeeSaw class and roster have been merged over to the paid version of SeeSaw. If you DO NOT have a SeeSaw account one will be created for you this week. When you sign in to Seesaw, all your class information will be ready for you to view as well as your class roster.

Among many of the benefits of the paid version is that student portfolios will travel with our students year to year, class to class.

Important details: You will receive an email from Seesaw with directions to sign in to your Seesaw account. It’s important that you click the link in your email and are able to sign in. Please use your staff email address and set your own Seesaw for Schools password. Please make this your google sign in. Sign in with Google whenever possible. Download the Seesaw Class iOS or Android app on your devices. On your desktop or Chromebook please sign in through the Classlink app.

You can visit ideas.seesaw.me for getting started tips and ideas for any grade level. Your DLS would love to meet with you and talk about how you can best use Seesaw in your classroom. Check out the Getting Started Guide for your grade level for ideas on how to introduce students to Seesaw.These interactive guides were created to help our teachers and students be successful and learn to use Seesaw independently. Watch for additional WBLAS PD opportunities.

This is an exciting opportunity for our students to enhance their learning through Seesaw’s built-in tools. I hope Seesaw will help continue building our school community and strengthen our connection between the walls of our classrooms and home.
