J2e Infant Tools for younger learners
J2e Infant Tools (JIT) is a set of online educational tools specifically designed for younger learners. It has a colourful and friendly feel which appeals to reception and KS1, whilst tools such as chart are useful well into KS2.
The JIT tools
Write
A simple to use writing tool, ideal for stories. A choice of word banks are available to help support this age group. Children will enjoy experimenting with presentation and style. Coloured backgrounds can be chosen to aid learning.
Paint
Paint is an easy to use creative tool. Children can paint freely with different sizes and colours. Shapes and stamps are easily selected, as well as colourful template backgrounds, and pictures from a picture bank.
Turtle
Turtle teaches children the initial concepts of direction and simple programming. Children can design their own ‘turtle’ and plan a route for it to follow. Fantastic nursery rhyme and adventure templates are included.
Chart
Chart gives the simplest introduction to line, block, pie, and bar charts. Simply mix one or more chart type together on the page. You will see the charts update instantly as the numbers in the table are changed.
Pictogram
A fun introduction to data handling. Pick from a range of topics such as colours, pets or favourite fruits then click the buttons to add or take away the relevant pictures. Draw your own pictures or select from the picture bank.
Animate
Animate is a tool for creating simple but exciting animations. It is a natural progression for children to draw a picture in paint, then use animate to make part of it move. Make snowflakes fall, crabs scuttle, and cars race.
Branch
Branch brings sorting and sequencing to life by making it very simple for pupils to create their own branching database. Select a group of images or words and use yes/no questions to sort them and create a branching database.
Mix infant e-portfolio
Blend together any of the other tools into a mini e-portfolio. Add a picture to some text on one page, then move on to an animated story on the next, for example.
