Gain Insight into Student Comprehension with Seesaw AI's Show What You Know Tool

Seesaw has introduced a new AI-powered feature called Show What You Know, designed to help educators efficiently gauge student comprehension without the need for hours of individual observation. This tool addresses the common challenge of finding time to assess understanding by utilizing screen recordings to capture students' problem-solving processes in real-time. By analyzing these recordings against a custom rubric, the system provides teachers with immediate and actionable insights into how well students grasp specific concepts, allowing them to save valuable instructional time while maintaining high standards of assessment. Creating an assessment with this tool is streamlined through a user-friendly interface that guides educators through setting time limits, entering questions, or utilizing the built-in AI question generator. Teachers can either input their own grading criteria or let the AI automatically generate a rubric tailored to the task. Once configured, the AI instantly identifies correct answers, determines levels of understanding, and highlights common misconceptions, which teachers can review and edit before adding the activity to their assignments. This process results in an auto-graded Draw and Record assessment that is ready for students to complete immediately. Upon completion of the activity, Seesaw delivers a comprehensive breakdown of student performance that goes far beyond simple scores. The report includes an overall grade, an AI-generated summary of the student's recorded response that captures their thinking process, clear indicators distinguishing correct from incorrect answers, and a specific level of understanding based on the set rubric. Additionally, the system provides a full line-by-line transcript of the screen recording, offering a complete view of the student's reasoning rather than just the final answer, which is particularly beneficial for subjects like math and science where critical thinking is essential. Ultimately, Show What You Know empowers educators to spend less time manually analyzing student work and more time delivering targeted support where it matters most. By revealing the complete thought process behind every answer, this tool ensures that teachers can identify gaps in understanding early and provide precise interventions. The ability to instantly analyze both the final output and the journey to get there allows for a deeper connection between instruction and assessment, fostering an environment where student comprehension is continuously monitored and supported effectively.
