Google+Earth

=Google Earth= Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographic information program. It maps the Earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and 3D globe.

Google Earth displays satellite images of varying resolution of the Earth's surface, allowing users to see things like cities and houses looking perpendicularly down or at an oblique angle, with a bird's eye view.

Teachers are using Google Earth in the classroom for lesson planning, teaching students geographical themes such as location, culture, characteristics, human interaction. (reference; Wikipedia)
