You can set up Wixie to work like an application on Windows, opening it from the Start menu and running in a dedicated window.

This makes it easy to launch Wixie without distractions in the browser window like tabs and URLs. It also gives it the feel of a local application, making it more comfortable to launch for new computer users. You can even pin Wixie to the taskbar to make it really easy to find and open.

Go to the login page for your classroom or organization. For classroom accounts, this looks something like:

https://wixie.com/tp/TEACHER436

For schools and districts, this looks something like:

https://MY-SCHOOL.wixie.com
