I love connecting with other educators, and I especially love talking about PicCollage & Seesaw! 🙂Ī kindergarten teacher at heart, Traci Piltz now work as a technology integration specialist for K-2 teachers in our district.
If you have any questions about using these apps in your classroom, please reach out to me. Some things just go together, like peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, PicCollage Kids and Seesaw. This is a simple, safe and fun way to connect with the families in your classroom! Uploading these collages to Seesaw is a great way to share these classroom moments with parents – teachers can share with the whole class (where all parents can view them) or just specific students (where only those students’ parents can view them). I keep the Pic Collage app on my phone, and make quick collages of field trips and other fun classroom happenings. Teachers can also use the PicCollage Kids app in combination with Seesaw as a fun and simple way to share classroom photos. The collages can be enhanced by adding additional details like annotations, a title, or student voice (my favorite) to read or tell about the collage. Students now have access to other tools, including a microphone, arrow pointer and drawing tool.

Students then log in to Seesaw using the simple QR code login process, then choose the “camera roll” option to upload the collage into their learning journal. Students researched the animals, then shared what they learned using PicCollage Kids. Here is an arctic animals example from a kindergarten classroom. Once students have completed a PicCollage, they’ll use the “share” button and choose “save to library” to save their collage to the camera roll of the iPad. It is super easy for students (yes, even kindergartners!) to upload their PicCollage creations into Seesaw and use the additional tools to enhance their collages even more. The items in their journals are shared with their teacher, classmates and (if the teacher chooses) with parents.

Seesaw is a free tool that allows students to upload projects into their own digital learning journals. What I really needed was a digital portfolio tool that would allow students to easily and safely share their PicCollage creations with an authentic audience. Sometimes I would take screenshots and post onto our class website, but let’s be honest, that was a tedious process. However, as students created these amazing digital projects in our classroom, we had no way to share them. I love that the PicCollage Kids version has more free sticker options, and no video ads! Students love the ability to utilize the fun fonts, backgrounds, and stickers to personalize their projects and publish their research and writing. (Being free certainly doesn’t hurt, either!) The PicCollage Kids app fits this profile perfectly, and is one of the apps I use most frequently in K-2 classrooms.

As a kindergarten teacher, it’s always been important to me to find good quality apps that are super easy for the kids to use, plus allow for creativity, integration across a variety of curricular areas and provide students with choice.
