4.9.2 Digital Learning Systems for Students

SFUSD’s learning approach often calls for students to utilize digital learning systems as part of their learning process, both in school and while doing homework. Google Classroom and Seesaw are two systems that SFUSD students may engage with.  

Through Google Classroom teachers can share resources, offer instructional activities, assess students, and provide them with helpful feedback. This learning platform is part of the Google Workspace for Education and can be utilized in conjunction with other digital tools across grade levels. For more information about using Google Classroom please visit: bit.ly/SFUSDgoogleclassroom. (This URL, also known as an internet address, is case sensitive. Only “SFUSD” should be spelled with capital letters).

Classes in SFUSD may also use Seesaw as a platform for assignments, student creations, and assessing learning. Seesaw also has robust family communication tools that can auto-translate into multiple languages. In addition, it can enable families to view and comment on their student’s work right from their smartphones. The following resources will support families in getting started with Seesaw bit.ly/SFUSDseesaw.

Your child may also utilize Clever (clever.sfusd.edu) to access digital resources. Clever is known as a “portal.” It simply functions as a “doorway” that takes students to other places on the internet. Unlike Google Classroom and Seesaw, it is not an entire learning system. The next section of this Handbook includes more information about Clever.
