Managing Classroom Settings for Privacy

audience.png Audience: Teachers

Seesaw journals are private by default. Journals are only accessible to teachers, students in the class, and a student's family if the teacher chooses to invite them. If family members have concerns for their child's privacy, teachers can follow the below additional guidelines.

If a family member is concerned about their child's privacy, you can observe the following additional guidelines for that child: 

  • Do not post group photos that include the child
  • Do not tag the child in posts that include any other members of the class. 
  • Only invite the child's primary family to view their journal and do not invite other family members 
  • Refrain from posting photos of the child, and instead focus on photos of their school work
  • Do not post that child's work to the blog (if you have turned on the blog for your class) 

Teachers can turn off family sharing in Class Settings. To do this:

  1. Tap the wrench icon.
  2. Navigate to Families > Family likes, comments & sharing.
  3. Toggle Enable Family Sharing OFF.

When family sharing is disabled, families will not have the ability to download any posts onto their device or share any posts over social media.
