Might have some luck on your Xanga...maybe update the color and your song while you are there.
Thanks, I'm trying to get as much info as possible before deciding. From the sound of it (unless somebody can speak to this otherwise), there is no facility to delete historical videos (or other submissions) from the past.
Unrelated question-- is using a mobile app merely for convenience or is it necessary to use this site?
Good to get your feedback. Do you know who actually owns the data? (I realize seesaw claims they don't)
Ok, found a techcrunch article in case random perusers are interested --
https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/25/seesaw-education/
Excerpt:
Seesaw also substitutes for managing huge stacks of paper. Beyond tracking each student separately, the new $120 per year Seesaw Plus premium version includes a skills view where teachers can rate students as green, yellow, or red on each lesson. A chart view both identifies students falling behind, but also which topics are giving the whole class trouble and might need a better lesson plan.
Seesaw Plus isn’t the startup’s main business model, though. It’s more of an infiltration technique for bottom-up sales to school districts. The Seesaw For Schools paid version gives administrators a dashboard to monitor each classes’ workbook and integrate the data into their grading software.
Seesaw is following the Dropbox playbook. Instead of top-down cold calling superintendandants, Seesaw aims to get a bunch of teachers in a district raving about it. That way administrators know if they pay to equip all their teachers with Seesaw, they’ll actually use it.

In terms of being able to delete anything from there, I didn't find anything that allowed me to do that. If it's a concern of yours, I would assume that the teacher could easily erase something if you asked him or her.
Our account had some posts that were child-specific (meaning only my wife and I had access to them) and others that were designated as group (such as whole-class pictures). I don't know about the settings, but I'd imagine you could ask your child's teacher to prevent their image from appearing in a group setting. But it's about as harmless and much safer than having their picture in a yearbook.
And, you don't need the app. Everything I received came across by E-mail.

Please don't be the same school. Please don't be the same school. Please don't be the same school.
How is it that you think that you know what is going on with my kid? You have now closed the loop on your circle of wrong. Not sure why you think you know what is going and what we are doing with him.
What if it is and they're bestest friends and then we get to hang out together all the time!?

Then it's time to prove that a preschool dropout can still get ahead in this crazy world.
It also explains why we talk so much about poop, poop stories, and poop math.
Going back to the original topic of should you take part. You have done nothing but find reasons to validate your apprehensiveness to use it. Which is okay. Just stop the charade and don't sign the paper and move on. Let's be honest if you use it you will spend the whole time paranoid about what might or might not be used/seen by others making it a pointless venture for you. Save your mental health and don't do it.
That validates exactly what Seesaw says on their website, and as I said before, is a business model used by hundreds of companies.
Yes. It is owned by the person that was standing on the grassy knoll.

No, he doesn't care for umbrellas. His sole interest is schoolkids' data.

Could be, if my kid was even a couple years of math ahead, I wouldn’t be so upset. It’s a good thing in my book.
