Pioneer Globe

My son uses this a lot for his Social Studies and it has been very helpful.

Pros:
Great learning tool for 9-12 year olds.
Excellent details.
Up-to-date political boundaries.

Cons:
The globe's skin seems could have been done better.
The quality of the globe stand is not as good as I had hoped.

We received this in the mail today. It is very beautiful and my kids are in awe of it. As a homeschool family, we felt that the flat map was no longer adequate. I must say, that as nice as this is, and I don't have much to compare it to, it is a bit pricy. I think it is more in the $39.99 price...but that's just my opinion. Hopefully it will last many years of educating our kids at home.

Globe is a good size and can spin and tilt for viewing. Has a plastic base which is sturdy it just looked like a metal base in the picture. Very satisfied.

What direction would you take - like say from Cleveland, to get to Moscow or Paris or Budapest or Yuma, Arizona? Would you go straight east, west, or sort of skew a little from west to go a little southwest to Yuma? The Pioneer World Globe is more than something to look at and impress your world traveler friends. The Pioneer World Globe will show you - and your friends, the relationships between America, her States, and Cities with the rest of the world - and just how close we are to everyone on earth. An important educational tool- this world globe, and an attractive one at that....
