I always thought I am good in Geography. But when I developed interest in traveling and seeing newer places, of course I found that I was wrong. I always need map to ground (and ground to map) instructions and had to rely on my maps. That was old fashioned way. Now they have the Smart Globe Deluxe. Who says that the globs on the tables are just to play and spin around?

The Smart Globe Deluxe is a part map, part encyclopedia and part high tech gadget. Point a smart pen and it will give you the country it's pointing to as well as details from currency info, local wildlife, import and export data, landmark inventions and more. What is more, it's updatable courtesy of the USB port which connects it to a PC and updates and information. It has multi language support (with English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese); a quiz mode for testing student geography, world culture, history and current events for three skill levels (ages 5 to 8, 9 to 14, or 15 and up); and a pullout tray with a map of the United States – where kids can find out interactive details about each of the 50 states. Smart Pen is wireless. Other accessories include a 25-page book to explore more in depth of countries, animals, dinosaurs, flags, foods, landmarks and inventions. USB cable and update software also included with weekly updates online through 2009. Try it on your study table.
