To add your child to a Seesaw class, you will need a specific Student Code provided by your child's teacher. Students join the class themselves using this code the first time they access Seesaw.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Getting the Student Code from the Teacher
The reference states that students can join the class using a code provided by the teacher. The teacher obtains this code through their Seesaw account.
- Teacher Action: The teacher signs in to their Seesaw teacher account.
- Finding the Code: The teacher taps the + Students button, usually located at the bottom right of the screen.
- Copying the Code: The teacher copies the class text code displayed.
- Sharing the Code: The teacher shares this code with you (the parent/guardian) or directly with your child.
Using the Student Code to Join
Once you have the Student Code from the teacher, your child can use it to join the class on their device.
- Download/Open Seesaw: Ensure the Seesaw app is installed on the device your child will use, or go to the Seesaw website.
- Choose "I'm a Student": When prompted, select the option that indicates your child is a student.
- Enter the Code: The app or website will ask for a Student Code. Enter the code exactly as provided by the teacher.
- Select Account: Follow the prompts to select your child's name from the class list (if it's a class list code) or enter their name (if it's a home learning code).
- Access Class: Your child will now be linked to the teacher's Seesaw class and can start viewing and adding activities.
Important Note: The method for joining might vary slightly depending on whether your child is joining in the classroom using shared devices or joining from home using their own device (Home Learning Codes). The Student Code method described in the reference is a common way for students to get started.
Remember, the crucial first step is always getting the Student Code from your child's teacher.
