Seesaw
Students as young as four photograph, record, narrate, and annotate their own work into a portfolio that travels with them. Families get a window into the classroom that a report card never opened, and teachers get a formative record that builds itself all year.
Teach the record and explain habit early: a child narrating their own math thinking is assessment gold.
ClassDojo
Part culture builder, part family bridge: students earn feedback points as their monster avatars, while the class story feed shows families the block tower photos and reading celebrations they would otherwise never see. Its translation covers dozens of languages automatically.
Award points for specific behaviors you name aloud, and the narration does more than the points.
