Google Earth

Google Earth is a freely available map and geographic information program that uses new technologies as well as images from satellites and aerial photography in order to map the earth. For large parts of the surface of the Earth only 2D images are available. However, 3D views are now available for some parts of the earth's surface, for example the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest, and many buildings and structures from around the world. Teachers are starting to adopt Google Earth in the classroom for teaching students geographical themes such as location, culture, characteristics, human interaction, and movement.
