        It's a Christmas gift so I haven't seen it operate yet but I am most amazed that I ordered it on black Friday morning & it was delivered Saturday afternoon. It looks great and well constructed and I know my grandson will love it.
        Thanks

        Comments about Oregon Scientific The Special Edition SmartGlobe v3:

        The new SmartGlobe v3 arrived on the date projected. The box was damaged and bent so we were anxious to open the box and check the contents. Luckily the globe was fine and not even scratched. The air bags saved it. I would recommend using heavier weighted, sturdy cardboard boxes for these expensive items. Grandma D

        I am a second grade teacher. I used money that I earned from fundraising to purchase the Special Edition Smart Globe for my class. My students love their new learning "center". The Smart Globe makes learning fun in a variety of subjects. I am very pleased with the Smart Globe and would recommend it to every educator!

          Comments about Oregon Scientific The Special Edition SmartGlobe v3:

          Globe was the avorite Christmas gift, my 6 yeaar old granddaughter loves the games and now enjoys finding places she heres about on TV. Two friends that teach want it for the classroom and another wants it in her office. My ONLY suggestion would be to make it slightly larger for us old folks.(print is small) , but in real life I couldn't be happier it's worth twice the cost !!!!

            This globe is a great educational item. Our six year old grandson loved this as a Christmas Gift. He thanked us over and over. We are purchasing another as a Birthday Gift for our seven year old grandson.
