Seesaw's app, which turns children's school assignments into social media, is used in half of US schools, according to the education start-up. Overcrowded classrooms and distracted parents can make pouring effort into school work feel pointless. Seesaw lets children share their work with teachers, friends and parents and also acts as a pair of extra eyes for teachers, who can watch self-recorded videos of their pupils completing a task, leaving them to concentrate on managing their classroom. The app has been downloaded more than 100,000 times since it was launched last year, but its creators are hoping that they will be able to expand beyond schools by next year. Seesaw is free to children and parents, and is used in about 150 countries.
