"My students love Wixie because whatever skill level they start with, Wixie provides an opportunity to enhance their success. Each student is able to show their creativity in a way that highlights their strengths whether it’s through the use of video creation, voice recordings, drawing, and/or writing. Wixie makes demonstrating student knowledge accessible for all learners. The program is fun, challenging, and user friendly for both my teachers and my students."

Students create a new cover for a book to show comprehension and explore character, plot, setting, symbolism, and conflict.
Students can personify an object and write a story as part of an online book or animated adventure.
To help students better understand the unique features of a state in the US, they develop materials to promote that state and create a pitch to attract visitors to this location at a tourism trade show.
To help students better understand the perspectives of those in different times and cultures, have them develop newsletters that recall and retell historic events.
Students can use Wixie's mind mapping tools to brainstorm ideas and organize information. Combining text, visuals and connections in mind maps helps students show how ideas relate to one another.
Students create a portfolio for a significant person in history to showcase this person's contributions to the community and our life today.
Use this choice board to put students in charge of how they will demonstrate their learning.
Wixie's tools are perfect for project work and the library of activities makes it easy to find assignments that match fifth-grade learning goals.
