Whether you have Chromebooks, iPads, PCs, or Macs in your classroom, you can use technology to engage and inspire your students in the curriculum.
"I absolutely love using Wixie with my 2nd grade students. My favorite way to use Wixie is in my literacy centers. I know that it is an independent station that students will be actively engaged and can be incorporated into every station. I am so grateful that our county uses Wixie."

Students learn to write using alliteration. Students learn to create illustrations that support and reflect their writing.
Students interview dinosaurs to demonstrate knowledge of animal characteristics, diet, and more.
Have students write how-to books for favorite activities or tasks they can do independently.
Rather than copying and pasting information, writing a 5 senses poem about a topic encourages students to activate facts they know or find in their own words.
Wixie's tools are perfect for project work and the library of activities makes it easy to find assignments that match second-grade learning goals.

Second graders researched animals, then used Wixie with Mrs. DeFrancesco in the library to create these “missing pet” posters. They’re quite compelling: Kindergartners were alarmed at the number of missing pets! pic.twitter.com/dPSI2YziJF
