After students have visited Jill at the Detective Academy for the first time, they will be able to access their Dpads from the Career Town map by clicking on the Dpad icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Apps that have been unlocked appear on the home screen of the Dpad. A star indicates which apps have new content for students to explore. Click on an app to open it.
The buttons in the Dpad screen have different functions:
- Use the red back button in the top left corner of the Dpad screen to return to the previous screen.
- Use the directional arrows at the sides of some of the screens to go forward and backward between screens within an app.
- Use the green home button to return to the Dpad home screen.
- Use the blue down button to close the Dpad and return to the Career Town map.
