Introduction to The Learning Journal
The Learning Journal is where you create and view posts as your default view when you sign in to Seesaw. This is where all learning lives in Seesaw!
Filter Student Journals
With robust student journal filtering, teachers can quickly locate specific examples of student work to evaluate and celebrate progress. Students can also filter the class journal by date range, folder, and student if visibility settings allow. The Journal can be viewed as a list of activities or as a calendar of activities. Simply toggle to the list view or calendar view as needed.
