### Steps for Sharing Student Work Samples

##### Step One:

- Open your 'Seesaw Journal' in the 'Seesaw Class App' or by accessing [app.seesaw.me](http://app.seesaw.me). If you have logged in before, your family class should open without needing to log in again.
- The page will open to the **activity tab** for one of your children's accounts. Click on the **journal** tab to open the journal and post a sample. 
    - **Note**: The app will open to the last class you were logged into. If your child is in CC/CC+, make sure you are in the **Foundations Class**, not the CC/CC+ class, when you post.
    - When you **click your child's name** (top-left corner), you can see and switch classes.

##### Step Six:

- Once the journal activity is posted, you can tag other children in your family.:

</td><td class="align-left" style="height: 29.4141px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">**Select the students in your family to include in the post, then click the green checkmark to add to portfolios.**

**The work sample will now appear in all your children's portfolios.**

</td></tr></tbody></table>


##### Step Seven:

You can add more details after a sample is posted by clicking **the 'Comment' box** under the posted work sample.

<p class="callout info">If multiple children worked on a sample and the comment applies to all of them, comment under one child’s name and indicate the comment applies to all of them. To add something unique to another child, add a comment and note which child it is meant for. </p>

##### Optional: 

You can easily switch to another class (e.g., CC+) or another one of your children's portfolios:

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-%C2%A0-click-on-the-child" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><colgroup><col style="width: 50.0372%;"></col><col style="width: 50.0372%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="background-color: rgb(194, 224, 244);"><td style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">**Click on the child's name to see other classes they are enrolled in.**

# Seesaw - How Parents and Students Submit Work in Seesaw

This chapter provides instructions for parents or students for sharing student work samples on Seesaw.

*\*If you prefer a video format, this [Seesaw for HCOS video](https://canva.link/84nl3uzbs53gm71) provides an overview of how to **sign in to your account** using your home learning codes, how to **add your other children**, how to **switch between classes** (Foundations and CC/CC+) and how to **share learning.***

<p class="callout info">If a student is adding work samples, the parent should review and supervise until the student understands what to share with their support teacher. </p>

### Getting Started 

- Open your Seesaw Journal in the **Seesaw Class App** or by accessing [app.seesaw.me. ](https://app.seesaw.me/#/login)If you have logged in before, your family class should open without needing to log in again.

# Seesaw - Student Login to Seesaw Portfolios

##### <span id="bkmrk-how-to-log-in-to-see-1">How to Log in to Seesaw Portfolios Using Your Home Learning Code: </span>

*\*If you prefer a video format, this [Seesaw for HCOS video](https://canva.link/84nl3uzbs53gm71) provides an overview of how to **sign in to your account** using your home learning codes, how to **add your other children**, how to **switch between classes** (Foundations and CC/CC+) and how to **share learning.***

For consistency between our programs, all students will receive a 'Home Learning Code' unique to them so they can access their Family Class and their CC or CC+ Seesaw portfolios with one simple login. Foundations teachers will share home learning codes for "Family Classes," and if your child participates in CC or CC+, they will be able to see their CC or CC+ class using the same login code. *\*Note: CC classes will be set up in September, once classes begin.*

<p class="callout info">Families will be set up as a class, and parents will still be able to view all the children in their family and tag any or all of them when they share family learning samples. Families will be able to see their child's CC class portfolio from the same login, but will not be able to view other students’ work. </p>

Your support teacher will email you a link to a PDF with step-by-step instructions. You can also follow the written instructions below for more detailed instructions.

# Accessing Multiple Seesaw Accounts

#### How to Toggle Between Multiple Seesaw Accounts 

It is easy to access multiple Seesaw classes on the same device without repeatedly signing out and back in to accounts.

# Seesaw - How to Edit People on a Post

These steps are for families using a Home Learning code with their Support Teacher or Case Manager.

If you are using a Home Learning code rather than a Class code to log into your Seesaw portfolio, you will need to toggle to access each child’s Seesaw classes and will not be able to see all your children listed in one class. However, as long as your other children are part of the same class, you are still able to tag multiple children on posts without having to toggle between accounts.

Watch the video [<span data-rich-links="{"fple-t":"Edit People on a Post.mp4","fple-u":"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MFy7o-CC6VymYWbBwhLv8CqGA1iDpwJi/view?usp=sharing","fple-mt":"video/mp4","type":"first-party-link"}">Edit People on a Post.mp4</span>](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MFy7o-CC6VymYWbBwhLv8CqGA1iDpwJi/view?usp=sharing) and/or follow the instructions below to see how easy it is to add all your children to a post from one child’s Seesaw account.

<p class="callout info">NOTE: This will not work for CC/CC+ portfolios.</p>
