One of the best parts about Wixie may be that students can use it over the summer if they have access to a computer or tablet. Most districts don't switch to new school year log ins until later in the summer and most existing student log ins remain in place until that time.
While students who are going to log in to write, draw, and create over the summer may not need help with ideas, you can encourage others by assigning templates like scrapbooks and goals to spark ideas.
Here are a few Wixie project ideas to help your students remember this year (if you are still in school!), look forward to next year, think about summer, and keep writing even if/when school is out.
