Audience: Teachers with Seesaw Instruction & Insights or Seesaw AI
Teachers with SI&I or AI accounts can use the Focus Mode tool to provide a minimal distraction experience for students, helping them avoid being overwhelmed with tools. Teachers can choose which tools are available on each page or opt for no tools. When all tools are selected to be unavailable, students can still answer assessment questions and complete Frames.
