The latest Wixie update has 2 new features designed to make it easier to learn and use Wixie.

Project List

The latest Wixie update helps students who have multiple teachers assigning Wixie projects know who assigned the work to them.

When working in Standard theme, students will see their teacher’s name on each assignment in the list and on work that they have already started.



In Primary theme, students will see their teacher’s profile image.


Teachers can customize the name that is displayed to students on their Settings page.

Click the Account icon in the upper right corner of the page and choose Settings.

Change the Display name to the name you would like your students to see.

Tech4Learning released another exciting Wixie update this summer. Here’s a bit of what you can expect to see when you log in to your Wixie account.

Get to know Wixie

Teachers have new options to help them successfully integrate Wixie into their curriculum. The Wixie 101 videos introduce Wixie, its features, and what you can do with it in the classroom. The Lesson Ideas provide new ideas for using Wixie on a regular basis as well as a library of lessons for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

When the school year starts and you’re focused on your students and your curriculum, the Tech4Learning development team is focusing on making Wixie the best tool for your classroom that it can possibly be.

Even if you use Wixie every day, you may not have noticed new features showing up. So, here is a list of all of the features that have been added to Wixie during the 21-22 school year.

The latest update to Wixie introduced Magic Stickers. Magic Stickers are images that can change the way they look, such as dice you can roll, clocks that change their time, and more.

We have one last Wixie update for 2021!

This update includes the two top-requested features from this fall: zoom and listening to feedback! Also, teachers now have a lot more control of how projects behave when they are creating templates.

Teachers can now join any student project to be able to work with that student either asynchronously or in real-time, without having to first make a team project. 

I hope the new school year is off to a great start!

We hope you are enjoying the updates from this summer. We just couldn't wait until next summer to include a few more features to make using Wixie with your students even easier.

As a follow-up to my blog on the new pencil-only feature in Wixie, there is a similar option to set a project to hide all of the tools. With this setting, students can interact with objects already on the page, like drag them around and add and edit text, but they don’t have access to all of the new object and paint tools. This feature helps teachers deliver formative assessments without the distractions of all of the tools Wixie has to offer.

Sometimes, less is more.

Wixie now includes a feature that allows teachers to set a project to make only the pencil tool available to students. When the pencil only option is selected in the project settings, Wixie hides all of the tools except the color palette and instructions, helping to keep students focused on the activity that they are working on. 

Here are some examples of templates from the Wixie curriculum library that demonstrate how this feature will look in action.

Wixie got a major update this summer. 

This has been such an unprecedented year in schools. Wixie usage has doubled and we are seeing Wixie used in more ways and in more classes than ever before! With the change in instruction and increased use, users have made a ton of feature requests.

Wixie’s development is driven by these requests.

This update includes hundreds of little changes focused on teachers using Wixie everyday with students. Improving the workflow, through new features and improvements in interoperability with other tools, is the driving theme in the update.

Here are just a few of the highlights.
