Oregon Scientific’s SmartGlobe connects to the net for new info
If you think a globe is just a globe then you haven’t seen the new Oregon Scientific SmartGlobe. This globe provides interactive lessons in English and Spanish to individuals of all age groups and also happens to be updateable via the Internet. The globe provides quizzes and activities for topics such as countries, capitals, major cities, populations, languages, history, current events, etc. There’s even a Smart Pen which can be programmed for age-appropriate content. Again – the best part is the downloadable content which keeps the globe updated on a weekly basis. Other features include:
- Free 1 yr content downloads after the initial registration
- Flags from around the world with corresponding national anthems
- U.S. map included for detailed activities
- Speakers located in pen and base
- Supports headphones
You can purchase the SmartGlobe at the Oregon Scientific website for $129.95. Now if only someone could make a globe that redraws itself should countries change names or change borders..
