Sesame offers teachers the opportunity to implement visible learning principles at the touch of a finger.

Not only are curriculum standards interwoven into the software, so that you can plan accordingly, it also allows you to have a visible learning summary of your students’ progress.

Students can also have quick access to their own learning log with a simple QR code! No need for them to memorize yet another set of login information, (what adult ever remembers all of their passwords anyways?) as it’s all embedded in a single, small piece of paper that can be glued into their agendas or taped to their desks.

Sesame has improved a lot over the past year, and although I haven’t been using it for every subject, it was a great addition to have at our Celebration of Learning this month. Parents were so happy to be able to see a collection of their child’s work, all at the touch (or scroll) of a finger! There is also an iPad and iPhone app making it even easier for teachers to assess on the go.

I’ll end this post with yet another video that shows a teacher in Ontario using SNAP in a special education classroom.
