[tab name='Description']

• This program is designed for very young children upwards, with a choice of screen styles that also give you age-appropriate activities for older children and adults with learning difficulties.
• SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2 gives you a easy way of making your own photographs or other pictures into interactive on-screen jigsaws. Pictures can be cut into two, four, or nine piece puzzles. Play on-screen and you’ll never have to worry about pieces being chewed up or scattered! Jigsaws can also be printed out for use away from the computer.
• The jigsaws can be completed in 4 ways, which provides activities with a finely graded progression in skill level:

• Cause and effect - just press a switch to build the picture. This level can also be used in a reveal game: The picture appears bit by bit, so learners can try and guess what the picture is before it is completed.
• Click on any piece - it will jump into place. An easy introduction to making jigsaws.
• Find the piece that fits the place chosen by the computer. A more demanding activity.
• Drag the pieces into their correct places. This level simulates making a real jigsaw. Support is provided for those players who find dragging with the mouse difficult, and this level can also be played using single clicks of the mouse.
• All of these can be played using the mouse, a touch screen, an interactive whiteboard or by using one or two switches such as the Ablenet switches from our catalogue. (Switches allow players who cannot use the mouse, a touch screen or the keyboard to play as well.)
• The major new feature in SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2 is the new way of adding your own pictures. This is now so easy that young children and those with severe learning difficulties can put their own pictures in themselves.
• SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2 can even take your pictures straight from your digital camera. (This requires a modern digital camera that plugs in to a USB socket in your computer.)
• You can now add your own music or personalised voice message to go with each picture. Now players can make a jigsaw puzzle of their favourite pop star, then hear their latest hit as a reward. Alternatively, those adding pictures of their family or school can also add some voiceover commentary to go with them. This feature makes SwitchIt! Jigsaw Maker 2 very rewarding for students who may find it difficult to provide evidence of achievement by traditional methods.
