Today’s featured company:
Leap Frog: Didj
A little more about them:
I have a real treat for you today! I happen to have received a Didj for review in September. In short: it’s been a great learning tool for my kids. You will not be disappointed with this product! (I’ll have a review up at ChiliTried.com today.)
The Didj is geared toward 6-10 year-olds.
The Didj handheld is the first grade-school system that lets kids create the game and parents customize the learning. Using the included PC- and Mac compatible
LeapFrog® Connect Application, players first select and personalize an avatar. Then they design the game, choosing background scenery, color schemes or music. Most important, parents and kids can then customize content, connecting gameplay with schoolwork. Multiplication hard to master? Kids can
choose to be quizzed on the 6s, 7s and 8s tables. Spelling a stumbling block? Kids can create
a custom spelling list from the 10,000-word database and practice for next week’s test.
The Didj handheld auto-levels, adjusting games to children’s particular skills and progress, so players are
appropriately challenged. All this is delivered in a sleek unit offering the high-quality graphics and classic gameplay that kids demand.
The LeapFrog Connect Application allows kids to move specific curriculum content for each
game on and off their Didj handheld—just like managing digital camera or MP3 files. Every time
players connect the Didj system to the computer, the points they’ve earned for correct answers upload to become Bitz usable for enhanced customizations. Best of all, each time parents connect the Didj system to their Mac or PC, they can view their children’s progress along LeapFrog’s proprietary Learning Path, available at leapfrog.com/learningpath, and access further content to match their kids’ interests and needs. Just set up an account, plug in your
Didj often, and the Learning Path will give you detailed information
on particular skills engaged and progress made, e.g., "your child worked on
CVC-e words today, and got 90% of the questions right."
And Leap Frog’s final new product this year, Crammer, is now available.
It’s a a homework and study device for students in grades three through eight
that allows kids to download questions and custom flash cards for quizzing on
the go.
