SAVE ON SPRING FAVORITES
If you’ve been using Seesaw in your classroom, you’ve probably noticed some major changes. These Seesaw account changes, specifically the removal of individual free and premium teacher plans, have affected thousands of teachers.
For many teachers, this change means that unless your school pays for Seesaw, you’ve lost access to the tools and features you previously relied on. If your school doesn’t provide Seesaw for Schools, you’re limited to the basic (free) features, which are significantly reduced due to the recent Seesaw account changes.
And for those who’ve used Literacy Stations resources with Seesaw companion activities, we want to explain what this shift means for you—and how we’re adapting.
We’ve heard from many of you, and we understand your frustration.
Here’s what we’re doing to support you:
When Seesaw became a popular digital learning platform, we created resources to help teachers and students use it effectively. One of our first additions was the Seesaw Scavenger Hunt—a simple way for teachers to introduce students to the platform. It walked students through key tasks like entering text, adding photos and videos, and navigating the Seesaw dashboard.
As Seesaw use grew—especially during remote learning, we began including optional Seesaw activities in many of our resources. These supplemental activities were especially helpful during COVID, when teachers needed quick ways to monitor student work and provide feedback remotely. Seesaw gave them a real-time window into what students were working on, and our activities were designed to make that process easier.
It’s been a privilege to offer bright, interactive Seesaw activities that supported student learning and gave you a flexible way to assign work digitally. While the Seesaw account changes have impacted how we can deliver these tools moving forward, we’re proud of the role they’ve played in your classroom. Many of you used these tools to engage your students during remote learning or center time, and we’re so glad they’ve been helpful.
However, as Seesaw shifts to a school-purchased-only model and individual teacher access becomes more limited, we’re no longer able to offer Seesaw activities in our new resources. Our own access has also changed, which means we can’t create or update Seesaw content moving forward.
Thank you for using these tools while they were available—they’ve served a real purpose, and we’re proud of the role they’ve played in your classroom. While we’re phasing out Seesaw content, we’re continuing to offer digital options that give you flexibility—if they fit your classroom needs. Many of our resources now include Boom Cards and Google Slides companions, designed to support your instruction without adding more to your plate.
Boom Cards are self-checking, interactive, and engaging—perfect for independent centers, fast finishers, or even sub plans. Students get immediate feedback, and you can track their progress with minimal setup. They’re bright, easy to use, and keep students on task.
Google Slides activities are versatile and easy to assign in Google Classroom or present on your screen. You can use them whole-group, in small groups, or as independent work. They’re ideal for modeling, practicing new skills, or reviewing—without needing to print, prep, or manage physical materials.
Just like always, it’s your choice how you use these tools. Whether you prefer printable activities, digital resources, or a mix of both, we’ve designed our materials to work the way you teach.
Thank you for supporting Literacy Stations. We’re proud to offer resources that are flexible, classroom-tested, and designed to meet real teacher needs. We’ll continue sharing helpful ideas, strategies, and seasonal content over on TeachingFirsties.com, and you can always find ready-to-use, affordable resources right here on Literacy Stations. If you’re looking for full access to everything we offer, our Literacy Stations Library Membership gives you unlimited downloads for a flat monthly rate—so you can spend less time searching and more time teaching.
And most importantly—thank you for all you do for your students. It doesn’t go unnoticed.
