Technology continues to reshape teaching and learning, but few platforms have had as wide‑reaching an impact across the curriculum as the Just2easy Tool Suite. Licensed to every primary school in Wales and Northern Ireland via their respective governments, the suite provides creative, open‑ended digital tools that help children express themselves, build skills, and deepen understanding across all subjects.
At its heart, Just2easy offers children a set of blank canvases: intuitive tools that encourage exploration, creativity, and ownership of learning. Whether pupils are writing, drawing, coding, animating, or data handling, each tool has been designed so that children can work at a level that suits their age, skills, and confidence. The tools are deliberately open‑ended, giving teachers the freedom to weave digital creativity not just into computing lessons, but right across whichever curriculum they are teaching.
Tools with purpose across every subject
Younger learners begin their digital journey with JIT, the Just2easy Infant Toolkit. Through paint, charts, animation, simple branching databases and early coding, children develop firm foundations in digital literacy while working on class topics such as story characters, number patterns, plant life cycles or local geography.
As pupils move through primary school, tools such as j2create, j2data, j2office, j2code, and j2bloggy support deeper learning and more sophisticated outcomes. Children can design posters, code games, create e-safe blogs, explore data handling and create multimedia presentations that bring their learning to life. These tools allow schools to integrate digital skills with the wider curriculum in ways that are truly meaningful to the children.
Teachers across Wales and Northern Ireland report that this cross‑curricular creativity boosts both engagement and attainment. Chris Robinson of C2K/EdIS described the tools as “integral in helping to deliver and achieve learning goals throughout the 1,050 schools in Northern Ireland.”
Accessible, inclusive, and playful learning
Inbuilt accessibility features (including speech‑to‑text, text-to-speech, and multilingual support) ensure that every child can participate fully. Meanwhile, j2blast, the suite’s competitive gaming tool, helps children practise spellings and times tables in an engaging, motivating way. More than 40 million games have been played since its launch; evidence of how much pupils enjoy it and how effectively it supports core skills.
Supporting teachers; saving time
Just2easy is as much a platform for teachers as it is for pupils. Through features such as j2journal and the parent portal, and flexible class management tools, teachers can view work, provide feedback, organise evidence and share learning with families. Because all tools operate through a web browser and updates are included at no extra cost, many schools have found they can replace multiple subscriptions with one comprehensive, affordable solution.
In classrooms across the world, the Just2easy Tool Suite is giving children the freedom to create, explore, and share their learning; all whilst giving teachers the support and time to nurture that creativity.
This is Skolon – we gather the best digital educational tools and make them work in the classroom.
Skolon is an independent platform for digital educational tools and learning resources, created for both teachers and students. With Skolon, accessing and using your digital educational tools is easy – security increases, administration decreases, and there’s more time for learning.
The digital educational tools come from both small and large providers, all of whom have one thing in common – they create digital educational tools that are beneficial for the school environment.
