But the overarching goal of what they are doing, is really putting their students learning on display for the world and opening up a communication loop and feedback tool with their parents and others. Yes, I do think that seesaw is a good tool and can do some amazing things. Next year we may (actually we will) have other tools that do similar things or automate some process. But in the end it is really not about the technology but the content that matters.
It is tough to blog, it is tough to keep up once started and yes, privacy issues do get in the way, but isn't it cool to see a school just put it out there. I give them a lot of credit for getting as far as they have have and embracing the technology in a positive way. There will be learning curves, stumbling blocks and even some failures, but aren't those the types of things that we want our students to experience as well?
I look at it as a jump into the internet pool. They are making a bit of splash and the ripples will also settle out in the end, but engaging their students with a broader world and showcasing there accomplishments, and some struggles along the way I think in the end will make their students much better learners and much better prepared for the larger world that they are a part of.
