Sesame makes it easy to assess student skills with visual evidence.
Students of all ages independently capture their learning in any form as it happens. Teachers give instant feedback with checklists, rubrics or comments, and tag curriculum standards to demonstrate skills.
"Not a single student has questioned their grades since I started using Sesame." - A. Hollo, College professor
“Sesame combined with Google Classroom is phenomenal!” - J. Ellis, Grade 6 teacher
“Students and parents absolutely love me for it! Sesame has revolutionized my anecdotal record keeping!” - W. Nelson, Kindergarten teacher
FEATURES:
Student-driven documentation
∙ Create “snaps” with photos, videos, audios, Google Docs, links or PDFs as evidence of learning.
∙ For younger learners, sign in on shared devices with QR codes instead of passwords. Otherwise, use Google Apps for Education or email/password sign in.
∙ Import directly from 100’s of your favourite apps to show off learning in one place.
Instant authentic feedback
∙ Assess with comments, rubric, checklist or score tools that become instantly visible to students
∙ Build trust and respect with families by inviting them to view updates in each student’s portfolio.
∙ Teachers always have control of who can see what.
Easy tracking and collaboration
∙ Tag local curriculum standards to student artefacts and assessments.
∙ Gradebook export and student portfolio makes report card writing a breeze.
∙ Showcase students by their skills rather than test scores.
