Seesaw brings together premium instructional tools and curriculum, inclusive two-way communication, deep learning insights & progress monitoring. Students become creators of learning with tools specifically designed for the elementary learning experience and build upon what teachers are already doing.

A seesaw (also known as a teeter-totter) is a long, narrow board supported by a single pivot point, most commonly located at the midpoint between both ends; as one end goes up, the other goes down. These are most commonly found at parks and school playgrounds.
Seesaw combines instructional tools, standards-aligned lessons, student portfolios, and inclusive communication features that bring learning to life for over 25 million students, teachers, and families worldwide.
