Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire technology integration in your second-grade classroom.
Whether you have Chromebooks, iPads, PCs, or Macs in your classroom, you can use technology to engage and inspire your students in the curriculum.
These multimedia projects were created by students using Wixie.
"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."
Rachel Redding
Teacher
Arundel County Public Schools, MD
Wixie's Templates library includes over 50 second-grade math activities you can use for formative assessment purposes or tasks for student work at centers and in station rotations.
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.
Students create their own adaptations of literature they are reading.
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.
Have students write how-to books for favorite activities or tasks they can do independently.
