What is Seesaw?
Seesaw connects 25+ million teachers, administrators, students, and families to support each child's learning journey from PreK through 6th grade.
The problems
User problem
Robust dashboards are table stakes in enterprise edtech, yet Seesaw admins lacked real-time, self-service data. This meant they either had to spend time and energy manually aggregate data or make decisions without it.
Business problem
For larger schools and districts, Seesaw relied on contractors to produce monthly reports. This was an expensive, time-consuming process that also required CSMs to provide ongoing data support.
Research
🎙️
Stakeholder interviews
“Provide screenshot-able data views that reinforce Seesaw's value.”
👨🏾💼
User interviews
“What can I do to support teachers to get the most value out of Seesaw?”
🧐
Competitive research
Show progress over time and compare progress between schools.
Designs
Engagement Data
Helped administrators understand:
- How much is Seesaw being used?
- How has usage changed over time?
- Which schools are using Seesaw the most and the least?
Student Learning Data
Helped administrators understand:
- Are teachers using standards based teaching?
- How are students progressing against standards at different schools?
- How are students performing on different subjects?
