Seesaw is bringing the excitement to ISTE 2025 with a live, interactive Seesaw Showdown at their booth. This high-energy competition will spotlight educators’ creativity and expertise using Seesaw’s dynamic platform.
Sixteen educators will compete in eight interactive rounds, demonstrating their skills in engaging students through Seesaw’s platform. Audience participation will determine the winners, culminating in an exciting final round on July 1 at 4:00 PM. The top two competitors will battle for the grand prize: a mobile cart with 10 iPads for their school
