JIT (J2e Infant Tools) is a set of online educational tools specifically designed for younger learners.

JIT has a colourful and friendly feel which appeals to children from reception through to KS2.

JIT consists of the following seven colourful and friendly cross-curricular tools. Each tool builds upon the other and allows a child to progress at his own pace. A standard format for each tool means each one is easy to master and provides a fun and appealing way to have fun online!

With J2e Infant Tools every child can be creative online!

Write is a simple to use writing tool, ideal for story-telling and exploring words. A choice of age appropriate word banks and colourful background templates are available to help support and inspire the younger learners.

Paint is a wonderfully easy to use creative tool, with which children will have hours of fun. It encourages them to paint freely and confidently with different sizes, colours and fills. Use the beautiful template backgrounds and pictures to create real online works of art!

Turtle teaches children the initial concepts of direction and simple programming. Children can have fun designing their own ‘turtle’ and planning a route for it to follow. Fantastic nursery rhyme and adventure templates are also included.

Chart is a fantastic introduction to line, block, pie and bar charts. Play with numbers, produce simple surveys and work with the dynamic and incredibly appealing variety of charts. Compare your results by mixing a variety of charts on the same page!

Pictogram is a great way to introduce data handling. With an incredible array of colourful topics ready to choose from; your children will be counting and exploring in no time. Alternatively, they can design their own pictogram and discover all sorts of items to count!

Animate allows children to really have fun with their creative talents. A brilliantly simple stop-frame animation tool for producing expert results. Not only can they use the plethora of characters and backgrounds in the picture bank, but it is a natural progression to draw their character in paint then use ‘animate’ to make it dance, jump, grow or bounce.

MIX is the ultimate in producing a workbook and showcase of a child’s work. Mix as many of the tools as required into the book using the templates and you have a ready-made selection of evidence to show, keep, add to and look through as their work develops!
