Outspoken Globe Teaches Geography

  • 06/01/96

The GeoSafari Talking Globe has over 10,000 geography questions programmed into it -- and it asks them itself!

Measuring 12" in diameter, this geopolitical globe uses GeoSafari software's award-winning quiz style to test students' knowledge while providing instant access to hands-on practice using a real globe.

Up to four players or teams can play simultaneously, adjusting response time and question difficulty. With its voice, flashing lights and sound effects, GeoSafari Talking Globe will capture student's attention while they learn geography.

It comes in three models: the base model includes the globe with electronics in the pedestal; an A/V model adds a four-way headphone splitter; and a Quiz Unit contains the electronic quiz unit plus headphone splitter for use in classrooms that already have globes, wall maps or atlases.
