[ARCHIVED] Does anyone know if it is possible to embed a Seesaw assignment directly in Canvas?

Have you embedded a Seesaw assignment in Canvas? If so, what are the steps to embed a Seesaw assignment? I don't want just the redirect, that I have, I want to know if we can actually embed an assignment.

Hi  @doore_marilyn ‌, it seems that several teachers have asked about using Seesaw with Canvas recently.  I am going to share a response that  @Chris_Hofer ‌ posted recently:

Hi there, Savannah Breazel...

I had to do a bit of searching the Googles, and it found two related topics here in the Community that might be of interest to you:

• Is anyone using Seesaw within their Canvas courses? How have you set up the work flow and what have ...
• SeeSaw and Canvas

While these topics might not completely answer your question, I wanted to provide the links for you just in case they would be of help.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

And I was able to get an answer that, no, one can't embed a Seesaw activity. One can link the Seesaw app with the redirect, and kids can do the work there but they can't do the activity within Canvas.

Honestly, I'm just curious as to why you'd want to.  Do you need to use both?  Can you just have the students complete their work in Seesaw and share it directly with parents that way?  I just feel both were pretty much created for the same purpose.  And Seesaw is definitely more child friendly than Canvas is.

Our District is requesting all staff use Canvas. Some can use Seesaw, primary grades. We were trying to find a way to integrate the power of both platforms. Students can learn how to copy and paste the URL into Canvas, even the little ones with time and practice but it would have been nice if that did not have to happen. Like many others, we are figuring things out. I appreciate this forum to be able to get ideas, feedback and answers!
