Every kid needs a globe -- we, personally, grew up without one and are now constantly mocked at not knowing where Africa is. The Oregon Scientific SmartGlobe combines the usefulness of a regular globe with the dotcom-everything-has-to-have-a-USB usefulness of today\'s technology.
The only learning globe that can be updated by using a USB drive, the SmartGlobe can be customized for three age groups. Users can be given a digital tour around the world, withnearly 30 learning activities, helping them learn country cpaitals, national anthems and even currency conversion for when they become high-powered businessmen. The globe comes with 36 activities and quiz games, can play games with up to 4 players, and comes with 2 years free of Internet downloads.
A great learning activity which, luckily, doesn\'t include an eye-damaging screen, the SmartGlobe is a great way to teach kids and make them think they\'re having fun.
