Wixie: New Resources
Video
We have created short videos to help primary teachers better see how they can use Wixie to support curriculum and technology standards at:
Ideas Page
We have created a new page of ideas, samples, and lesson plans for using Wixie over the summer.
Templates
New templates are added each month. You can now find an entire folder of comic templates with a variety of theme-based comic panels and connected sticker libraries.
Click the images to open the templates or search "comic" to find these and more.
Wixie also now has Magic Stickers which change each time you select them or load the page, such as in the dice tally activity above. Search "magic" to find more examples. You can also find new templates in the Month-by-Month folder for June.
Expert Webinar
The last Wixie Expert Webinar of the school year was Wixie Wizardry: PDF Magic with a Few Good Friends by Kim Lochbaum, District Instructional Technology Specialist, in Forsyth, GA. She shared how to quickly create your own Wixie templates using the Wixie PDF upload feature.

Creative Educator just released a new Five Senses Poetry lesson plan. In this lesson, students use this fun poetry form to share information about a favorite place or topic they are exploring.
