Audience: Teachers
Seesaw Frames are intelligent shapes that allow students to add photos, videos, and more in specific spaces. Using Frames is an excellent way to make use of the Seesaw Creative Tools to gain learning insights from students while making it as easy as possible for them to complete activities! Frames are available for activity creators such as teachers, admins who are creating their own activities, and Ambassadors creating activities for the Community Library.
