The online infant toolkit allows the following features – all linked via the [LGfL USO](https://www.lgfl.net/services/uso) log in: - **Word processing** - **Animation** - **Graphing** - **Painting** - **Pictogram** - **Turtle control** - **Mix of all the above into an online document** We are really excited to say that this popular program has had some **new features added**! Pupils can now paint or fill using textures as well as solid colours, the colour picker and pen sizing have all been improved and an eraser has also been added.  You can see these new features in the picture below. ![](https://curriculumblog.lgfl.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Jitnew2-Jul-30-2021-09-09-36-32-AM.jpg?width=960&height=640&name=Jitnew2-Jul-30-2021-09-09-36-32-AM.jpg)   Speech bubbles and text can now be added to painting or animations, vastly improving the learning possibilities, enabling story boards to be created across a range of curriculum subjects. A new stamp feature takes the creativity on to new levels, you now have the ability to not only create your own stamps but these are then all saved in a new My Stamps area and these can then be used across the JIT progam. ![](https://curriculumblog.lgfl.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Jitnew1-3.jpg?width=960&height=640&name=Jitnew1-3.jpg) Internet search has also been added to the JIT program - this is a safe search with copyright filters in place. You can see all the features in action by watching the short video below [video width="1288" height="720" mp4="https://curriculumblog.lgfl.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/JITnew.mp4"][/video] The second update is to Visual part of [j2Code](https://www.lgfl.net/learning-resources/summary-page/j2code), adding a new sprite in visual is now even easier, 3 tabs have been added and you can choose from my pictures (pictures stored within your own files on j2e), shared files any pictures that have been shared with you and a web search.  Using the web search you can either search for all images, faces, pictures and clip art, once you have search for an image you can then set it as your background, making it easier to add backgrounds into visual. If adding a new sprite from clip art, there are a new set of commands with added directions so that you can set the direction you want the sprite to move.
