Task Analysis: (Seesaw Platform Usage)

Seesaw is an online platform for educational usage in connection with small group
activities, assignments, assessments and reflective materials. In Fulton County Schools, we
started to use this platform once schools shut down so that students could have access to a way to
complete assignments and not be overwhelmed by all the platforms to be used. The mindset of 6
and 7 year olds in regards to procedural knowledge and steps are in the realm of introductory and
newborn status. Much of what is learned during the time of a 1st grade student is foundational
skills that will carry them into adulthood. They learn how to ride a bike, write words and
sentences, form a thought, read words and books and begin to comprehend what they see. So
with this project I hope to display a kid friendly/parent friend breakdown on how to use this
platform so that the next school year is more understanding and less overwhelming to both
student and parent. This task will break down into visual and detailed steps where both student
and parent will have understanding and be able to perform without the assistance of myself or
tech support of FCS.
