The complete infant toolkit
J2e Infant Tools (JIT) is a set of online educational tools designed to appeal to younger learners. It has a colourful and friendly feel which appeals to reception and KS1, however some tools such as chart and animate are useful well into KS2.
The JIT tools
Write
A simple to use writing tool. A choice of word banks, text to speech, and speech to text functions, are available to help support learners. Children will enjoy experimenting with presentation and style by making changes to the font and adding a background.
Paint
Paint is an easy to use creative tool. Children can paint freely with different colours and brush sizes. Pictures and stamps are easily selected from a range of image banks and the internet, and colourful template backgrounds can be added.
Turtle
Turtle teaches children the initial concepts of direction and simple programming. Children can choose their own ‘turtle’ and plan a route for it to follow. Fantastic nursery rhyme and adventure templates are included.
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.
Chart
Chart gives the simplest introduction to line, block, pie, and bar charts. Simply add data to the table and watch the chosen chart/s update instantly.
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
Collate work from any JIT tool/s into a mini e-portfolio. Children will love making story or topics books. Teachers also find this tool useful for collating children’s work.
