With Wixie, you can create:
Talkies are animated characters that read text or speak what you have recorded.
Transform your original art work, choose from a library of Talkies, or make any photo or clip art image into a animated character to tell a story or share information.
"I used a Talkie with one of our nonverbal students and she was beyond excited to hear the bear 'talk' the sentences she worked so hard to type."
Talkies help students hear a character; deepening ideas, descriptions, expression and voice for improved writing and storytelling.
Students adjust writing and recording to match the traits and personality of their character to the message they want to convey. This engaging medium encourages fluency as students record again and again to get tone, pacing, and voice just right.
Imagine an interview with an animal, or person from history, where the answers are animated responses or perhaps an element talking about how it acts when bonded with another element.
Turning informational content into a narrative voice requires reflection and synthesis, reinforces content learning. This perspective-taking deepens content learning by helping students connect emotionally, cognitively, and socially to what they are studying.
