LeapFrog Didj: Educational Handhelp Game
Have you been in a game store? Thousands of games on a wall with almost no educational value. What are they thinking?
Can you imagine the conversation in game company boardrooms. “I know education is in critical condition in America but the kids want shoot-em up games–and we make billions on them–so lets make more shoot-em up games.” Good thing these type people aren’t in charge of breakfast foods! Oh wait, they are.
If your 6 to 12 year old child is bugging you for a PSP, Nintendo DS, or another game system consider the LeapFrog® Didj Custom Learning Gaming System. This handheld game (around $60) designed for children to play action games as they and learn languages, spelling and math.
What games do you recommend for learning?

I’d not heard of this. I’ll have to read more about it and see what kinds of math skills are able to be learned.
(Thanks for twittering about it and including a link to your blog post.)
