The jigsaws can be completed in 4 ways which provides activities with a finely graded progression in skill level:
� Press a switch to build the picture
� Click on any piece to make it jump into place
� Find the piece to fit a pre-selected place
� Drag a piece into the correct place.
A new way of adding your own pictures is the major new feature in SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2.
This is now so easy that young children and those with severe learning difficulties can put their own pictures in themselves.
Other useful features include:
� A new folder system to keep your pictures organized by class or subject.
� Facilities to transfer your picture sets from one computer to another. This can also be used to retain �interactive� evidence of achievement for learners who have added their own pictures to SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2.
� A sorting feature to control the order that pictures appear.
� Printing features which print out your pictures with jigsaw lines on them, ready for cutting out. This gives lots of opportunity to extend SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2 away from the computer.
� Ready-made jigsaws and a library of photos and music clips so you can start making your own jigsaws straight away.
