June 02, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
As specialists in World Globes and accessories, eGlobes.co.uk has now launched a discount scheme aimed at providing Globes at better prices for schools.Spokesperson Stuart Russell states “we have always been passionate about Globes, and feel that there is possibly a slight lack in Geographical knowledge amongst children, and often adults alike with in the UK. The purpose behind our ‘eGlobe.co.uk Discount Scheme’ is to provide Globes at the best price we can – in a bid to let children use them as part of their geography classes.
“We have Globes that can be written on and marked with a dry-wipe pen, we also have Globes designed specifically for younger children (the Globe4Kids), as well as inflatable Globes and various accessories too.
eGlobes.co.uk Head of Marketing, goes on to say “In a constantly changing political and social climate, it is incredibly important to know where countries are located – the spread of Global news so quickly (especially with the rise of the internet) means that a lack of basic geographical knowledge can hinder a full understanding of world issues. An a good way to learn is with a hands-on and practical approach.
“Popular products for learning include the Clear Political Inflatable Globe, as well as the Topographical Inflatable Globe too. The World Scholar Globe is also a popular choice, as is the Geographer 12 Inch Globe. We’d love to see schools using learning-aids such as these, rather than the conventional 2-dimensional Wall-Map approach. We think that 3-D learning is far more interesting, and keeps children interested and enthused.
“We even offer a Freephone number (0800 634 9175) to make ordering very straightforward, as well as easy to use online ordering too – at www.eGlobes.co.uk . All teachers need to do is Quote the special code which will be given to them when they make contact with us by phone or by email (teachers@eGlobes.co.uk).
We are now hoping the Geography Association will be able to list us – which will spread the word as to what we are trying to achieve, and we welcome any new enquirers.
