5 out of 5 stars Oregon sci. globe is AWSOME   June 20, 2006
Tricia Russell (las vegas, nevada USA)

This is the most AMAZING educational toy ever created. honestly, my entire family couldnt keep their hands off of it! It has everything, including that US pull out map, which by the way is much better/cooler than the picture leads you to believe. It gives you history, locations, capitols, everything and i mean everything you would want to know about anywhere in the world!!! I went to go see both this globe and the other one made by leapfrog, i think it is the odyssey 3 globe, anyway, the leapfrog one only turns east west direction, not like a normal school globe that is fully (turnable?) haha sorry bad terms here, but you get my point? also the leapfrog's pointer/pen does not work at all as well as this one. If you are going to spend this much money on a glode this is definitly the one to get. it really is a great purchase. every family should have one. my kids are now walking around saying hello in about 15 different lang so far. and we have only had it one day!




5 out of 5 stars Great Product for your family   March 6, 2006

Got this product for my nephew for Xmas. The SmartGlobe teaches children (or even adults) about geography, culture, leaders, national anthem etc... of many countries in the world. There is also a competition mode, which allows up to 4 players to compete. The little guy is now excited to learn with the SmartGlobe because he wants to beat me at the competition mode!!!
You could have loads of fun even without updating the content. We registered the SmartGlobe (started updating it) and we noticed that the world news are being updated every week.
It is overall a great product. I like the idea of having all of the info handy at your pentip!


5 out of 5 stars Amazing learning tool   March 24, 2006

SmartGlobe is the next generation learning aid for our youths. Combining geography with easy to use tools makes this the undisputed interactive learning aid in the market. The sound effects are very cool and really grabs the youth's attention. Additionally, you get to have fun learning national anthems, timelines, history, leaders and more for virtually any location around the world. Our favorite learning is the world news which updates weekly. Furthermore, the SmartGlobe is suitable for different age groups so we share the fun with friends and neighbors. The vocabulary is unique and insightful. This is definitely a valuable item to own because learning has never been so much fun. I strongly recommend this for all families!!!


5 out of 5 stars An excellent, fun and informative Globe   January 6, 2007

8 out of 8 found this review helpful

We use this for homeschooling to enhance our geography and history lessons - my 8 year old daughter runs to the globe after learning about a particular country or city, grabs the interactive pen and spins the globe to locate the location corresponding to our studies. She then listens to the countries language, capital city, National anthem, current population, current ruler and currancy etc. and enthusiastically enjoys the process! We keep it updated and current by connecting the pen via USB cable to the internet which allows the pen to upload the current statistics.
We are not sorry we bought it and we have not encountered any problems or difficulties using it.


5 out of 5 stars Best toy my son has ever had!   January 11, 2007
Love to read (United States)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This globe is so great! My son spends hours touching the pen to the globe finding out about the world. You can find out the population of places, the leaders, the time to travel between two places, the climate, the capitals etc. A really cool feature is you can do a sort of timed quiz where it tells you cities and you must touch the pen to them. My son knows the geography of the whole world now!
I wouldn't recommend this globe for children younger than 8 because it would be over their heads, but kids over 8 will love it and they will learn so much!
