Product Information
Earn Cool Rewards
Earn Badges for in-game achievements, such as fi nishing a level or answering
10 correct questions in a row. See the Badges that can be earned by going to
the Badges screen in each game.
Each Badge is worth a particular number of Bitz, or
points, that can be traded to customize any DIDJ™
game. Just connect the handheld to the computer to
update the number of Bitz each player has earned. Use
the LEAPFROG® Connect Application to trade your
Bitz for Micromods such as new spaceships, in-game
backgrounds or music that will change each game, and
then download them to your handheld.
Because data storage space is limited, it is important to connect the DIDJ handheld
to the computer periodically to upload game progress and new Bitz earned.
DIDJ Learning Edge
The DIDJ handheld teaches important school skills such as mathematics, spelling
and language arts. Each game has multiple learning levels that progress in diffi culty,
challenging players to learn more advanced concepts as they play. The DIDJ
handheld dynamically advances the learning level, adjusting the curriculum to each
player's skill level so that the learning is neither too easy nor too hard.
Use the Hint button to access tailored tutorials that will explain new learning
concepts and how to apply a new skill.
Customize the Learning
The learning included in each DIDJ game can be
customized by connecting the DIDJ handheld to the
computer. Use the LEAPFROG® Connect Application
to create a spelling list from over 10,000 words, for
example, or to focus on a particular skill or concept
like learning to multiply by 7s and 8s. Then, download the
customized learning skills and use the DIDJ handheld to get
ready for a test or to get practice in key school skills.
See and Share Learning Success
Every time the handheld is connected to the computer, the system will update each
player's learning and gaming progress. Parents can see and celebrate the learning
by going online at leapfrog.com/learningpath or going to the LEAPFROG® Learning
Path page of the LEAPFROG® Connect Application.
