Smart Globe Discovery SG268 - Interactive Smart Globe with Smart Pen by Oregon Scientific

Product Information

Technology has advantages when it comes to teaching kids about the world around them, and its ability to reinforce geographical lessons is pretty good. I would argue that there’s something missing from the experience of spinning a digital globe or scrolling over a map on a tiny tablet screen, an ingredient that can make a world of difference to students learning about the Earth and its land masses. The AR aspect of the globe really disappointed me and I think without that the globe is great and this unnecessary extra that didn’t work well wasn’t needed. Another factor to keep in mind is color temperature. Higher temperatures, such as 8,500K, look like harsh office lighting, which is fine for staying awake or working. Lower temperatures, such as 2,500K, translate to a cozy, warm glow that's perfect for relaxing.

The Shifu Orboot is another good choice for elementary-aged kids, and its quiz questions are even appropriate for preteens. He says it is his favourite item, other than his Xbox and phone, which if you knew Ben would know is a massive compliment to it. Ben was thoroughly impressed with how much information he could learn from it. Do you always ask what network is that particular number? Well, you are not alone. It’s a bit confusing to identify if the mobile number you are calling or texting is Globe or Tm, Smart or Talk N’ Text. So, we listed the mobile network prefixes for you.
