4 minutesThere are six different apps that students use to build a personal profile, collect clues, view the people they meet throughout the game, and gather stickers, art, and badges.
About Me
This section of the Dpad contains three different apps:
- My Profile – In this app, students build their personal profile by answering Detective Jill’s personal reflection questions about their interests, strengths, family, and other details.
- My Files – In this app, students can upload documents, photos, and other files that provide evidence of their learning, interests, and career/life exploration and development. A text field allows students (with the help of a teacher or parent) to add a note to each artifact.
FYI: For more information on My Profile and Files, check out About Me portfolio and My Files. - Jobs I Like – As students read the profiles of Career Town’s workers in the People app, they can indicate which jobs they like by clicking the happy face under the worker’s picture in the file. Jobs that students have indicated they like are saved in this app
People
This app contains the occupation profiles of all the characters in each of the 6 career pathways in the game. Students can indicate which jobs they like by clicking the happy face under the worker’s picture in the file.
