Audience: Teachers
Seesaw Frames are smart shapes that let students add photos, videos, and more in designated spaces. Using Frames is a great way to utilize the Seesaw Creative Tools to gain learning insights from students while making the completion of activities as easy as possible! Frames are available for activity creators such as teachers, admins who are creating their own activities, and Ambassadors creating activities for the Community Library.
