💡 If you are new to using Activities, start here: How to use Activities in Seesaw
Learn how to share Seesaw Activities with both students and fellow teachers. This article explains how to generate Activity links, share Activities through announcements or other learning platforms, collaborate with educators by sharing Activities to their libraries, publish Activities to your school library, and print Activities or QR codes for offline use.
Teachers can share activity/lesson links with teachers or students from the Journal Tab or Seesaw Library. To share links, tap on the [...] and tap Share Lesson.
Share an Activity link with Students
Share an Activity Link with Students
- Copy and paste Activity links into a student Announcement to share daily or weekly assignments. Once the announcement is sent, students will receive a notification and can tap the links to open and complete their Activities.
- You can also share student Activity links directly in Google Classroom or another learning management system (LMS).
Note: Student Activity links are unique to each Activity assignment and the students it is assigned to. Because these links are specific to your class (or selected students), they cannot be shared across multiple classes.
When students tap an Activity link, they are taken directly to the assigned Activity. From there, they can:
- Tap Start to begin a new response.
- Continue working on an existing draft.
- View their completed response if they have already submitted the Activity.
Customize or create a new Activity and then share it with fellow teachers to use their own classes.
Sharing Activities with teachers is only available on a computer/laptop at app.seesaw.me and is not available on iOS/Android. Student responses to the Activity will NOT be shared.
To share an Activity link with teachers directly from your ‘My Library’ tab:
- Sign in to your Seesaw teacher account.
- Tap the green +Add button.
- Choose 'Assign Activity.'
- Go to your ‘My Library’ tab at the top of the Activity Library.
- Tap on the Activity you would like to share.
-
Tap the [...] button in the lower right hand corner, then Share Activity with Teachers.
- Copy the Teacher Activity Link to send to other teachers via social media or email.
To share an Activity link with teachers from an Activity that has already been assigned in your class:
- Sign in to your Seesaw teacher account.
- Tap on the Activities tab.
- Find the Activity you would like to share.
- Tap the [...] button below the Activity.
- Tap Share Activity with Teachers.
- Copy the Activity Link to send to other teachers via social media or email.
When teachers paste the Activity Link in a web browser, they will be prompted to 'Save Activity' to their ‘My Library’ tab. Once the Activity is saved they can share it with their students or customize it for future use. If teachers are not logged into Seesaw, they will need to log in before the Activity will save.
If you want to share an Activity with another teacher who does not have a Seesaw account yet, no problem! The teacher can view the Activity from the Activity link or they can visit the Seesaw Public Community Library to browse any grade level, subject area, and curriculum.
Teachers can publish Activities to their School Activity Library to be used by all teachers at their school.
1. On an Activity, tap the [...] button and select Share Activity.
2. Navigate to Share to School & District Libraries and tap Share.
3. Select the grade levels and subject areas relevant for your Activity.
4. Tap Share.
Once your Activity has been shared to your School Library, educators within your school can view, save, and assign the Activity with their students.
Tap Print Activity to download a PDF of the Activity so students can complete it offline or have a paper copy of resources. Printed Activities also include a QR code that students can scan to open the Activity in Seesaw. Teachers, students, and families can print Activities.
- Tap the Activities tab.
- Tap the [...] button on any activity.
- Tap 'Print Activity' and print.
