New Wixie content in March

The resources in Wixie keep growing. Here are just a few highlights to keep your students budding with new ideas.

Templates and activities


Talking character conversations

Whether it's Tedd Arnold's Fly Guy, your favorite fairy tale, or another beloved story, use the character interview activities to have students use talkies to interact with their favorite characters.




Talking story starters

Featuring vibrant backgrounds and talkies, use the story starter templates to spark imaginative digital storytelling adventures.

You can search “interview” in Wixie for even more talking interview templates. 

Talking masked reader

Use the Masked Reader talkie template to encourage fluency practice without the performance anxiety!



Search "talkie" for even more assignment ideas.

Talkies

Based on teacher and student requests, we’ve added more talkies, including a lizard, mouse, rabbit, and spider.

Training guide 

We added Tech4Learning Innovative Educator Rachel Gelinas’s ABCs of Wixie ideas to a new interactive book! 



If you are training a group of teachers who have used Wixie for years, have them explore the topics in the book that spell out their first and/or last name. Have them report their favorite feature back to the group and explain how they might use it with students. 

Fonts

We extend our gratitude to the Wixie community for their content and development suggestions. Thanks to teachers like you, Wixie now has four new fonts, including Open Dyslexic.
