How to download and use the Student Activity Report

3.png Audience: Admins with school or district subscriptions

Use Highlights to capture students' best work for conferences, to keep a running folder of mastery of learning, and more! The highlights folder is easily accessible from anywhere you access folders in Seesaw. You can also view all Highlights in Journal feeds. When assigning activities or when creating student posts, you can choose to add work to the Highlight folders. 
🌟 Learn more about Visibility settings for posts so you can customise visibility of Highlights.

Seesaw admins have the ability to pull Student and Class activity reports for 7 day periods from both the School and District dashboard! These reports can be used to check how often classes and students are utilising Seesaw, and the interaction users are having with the platform.

Understanding the Student/Class Activity Report
Below are the different fields included in the Student and Class Activity Reports (depending on how admins downloaded/are viewing the report). Here are a few things to keep in mind:
  • The term ‘Active’ means that the student signed in, read an announcement, or completed work.
    • In many columns, a student being ‘Active’ is noted by a ‘1.’ If the student wasn’t active, the cell will be blank.
  • Comments: Student comments only (does not include teacher or family comments)
  • Total Posts counts both approved and drafts (it does not include pending posts)
  • Teacher Name is based on the Display Name (shown in the Class Report). If the teacher does not have a Display Name in Seesaw, this will be blank.
  • Please note: The Student Activity Reports are dated Month/Date/Year.
