The updated version of [Busy Things](https://www.lgfl.net/learning-resources/summary-page/busy-things), packed with NEW features and content, was released to LGfL schools back in January 2019 BUT from today is it is now accessible from **home with your LGfL USO. **

In order to use [Busy Things](https://www.lgfl.net/learning-resources/summary-page/busy-things) at home with your LGfL USO then the headteacher declaration needs to be signed in order for the data to be released, you will find a simple summary guide on how to configure access via the LGfL USO log in [here](https://static.lgfl.net/LgflNet/downloads/LGFL%20USO3.pdf).

If you have not yet configured the new version of [Busy Things](https://www.lgfl.net/learning-resources/summary-page/busy-things) in school then this guide gives you a [simple summary](https://static.lgfl.net/LgflNet/downloads/LGFL%20IP.pdf) on how to set up for the first time on the school network.

The new updated Busy Things has a range of both new features and content and this [summary document](http://static.lgfl.net/LgflNet/downloads/learning-resources/BusyThings/LGfL_BT_NEW_Nov_2018.pdf) outlines them all for you.

There is also a [Busy Things channel on LGfL TV ](https://lgfl.planetestream.com/Default.aspx?catid=38)that includes a range of short videos like the one below that offer guidance on a range of tools within Busy Things.

Should you require further assistance then please contact Busy Things [directly](https://www.busythings.co.uk/contact-us/support)
