Pressbox (Press Release) -
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.
