Creating animation is motivating, fun, and hard work.
Students learn best when they select and transform information. Creating animations in Wixie give students opportunities to re-present information, not just recall it.
"My students love to animate their drawings, adding action to original stories and creating visual diagrams and explanations."
Val Chmelka, Grand Island PS, NE
Animate images, clip art, and text along a path, in a circle, and much more.
Turn any art into an animation that can speak text or your recorded voice.
Research on student-generated animation shows that students who make animations demonstrate deeper conceptual understanding and better long-term retention than those who only watch or read explanations.
Students must analyze content, decide what to include, and determine how to show it visually and temporally, choosing the most effective medium for meaning-making.
Animation scripts, narration, and sequencing rely on strong writing and promote organization, vocabulary use, and idea development. And when students know their script will be seen and heard, they become more invested in editing for clarity and expression.
Planning scenes, writing concise narration, and editing dialogue also provides opportunities to reinforce audience awareness, tone, and structure.
Creating an animation helps students practice how words, visuals, and sound convey meaning together, building essential digital-age communication skills.
The process to create animated stories in Wixie mirrors real creative workflows; promoting project management skills, creative problem-solving, and synthesis of content across disciplines.
