With Regional Settings, Administrators can determine the Seesaw platform language, grade-level terminology, and regional content settings for all teachers, administrators and students. 

District admins can set the default Regional settings for all students, teachers, and admins within the district. To adjust Regional Settings, navigate to District Dashboard > District Wide Settings > Regional Settings. 

Language Preference

Seesaw provides a localized experience in dozens of languages

Admins can apply the following settings for language preference:

  • Let Schools Decide
  • use device language in the user's browser
  • select one specific Seesaw-supported language

There are a few things to note about language preferences:

  • This does not affect the language displayed within lessons and activities in the Resource Library.
  • Teachers and admins have the option to change their language in Account Settings, which will override the school’s setting.
  • If "let schools decide" is chosen, school admins have the ability to set the language for all students, teachers, and admins at their school.
  • These settings don’t affect family members. Families can adjust their language preferences on their own.

Names of Education Levels
Admins can choose how they want Education Levels presented in Seesaw: as "grades" or "levels". Users will see their country’s Education Level set throughout the app.

Options are:
