Your Wixie subscription includes a Templates library with over 1500 curriculum-based activities you can assign immediately or customize to meet your learning goals. You can also easily create and share templates you have created from scratch.

Your site's Wixie administrator may have set your accounts to run in the Primary interface. The primary interface has larger, more identifiable tools and options to help young learners navigate through Wixie.

Wixie makes it easy to change between the standard and primary interfaces on the fly. Simply select your Profile image or initial in the upper right corner and choose Switch Theme, to change to the Standard interface.
