"See Rome as it looked in 320 AD and fly down to see famous buildings and monuments in 3D. Select the 'Ancient Rome 3D' layer under Gallery in Google Earth." Via Seth Dixon
Lou Salza's insight:
Amazing opportunity for students to "see" Anciant Rome and explore monuments as they once looked and functioned.

This is a really interesting way to visualise what Ancient Rome looked like thousands of years ago and to learn about some of Rome's most historical landmarks in relation to the Roman Empire. Delete the scoop?

World Atlas is an educational resource for world maps, atlases, and in-depth geography information. Teachers and students: free maps of Europe, USA, Canada, Florida, Caribbean Islands and much more.
This World Atlas, in addition to have many maps at a variety of scales as is very common these days, has the added feature of embedding facts and other informative features based on your scale and regional context. Students can explore this at their own pace to learn about what every region of the world that interests them the most. Via Seth Dixon Delete the scoop?

This provies the basic overview of the layout and function of http://geteach.com . The video unlocks some great features that are not intended to be hidden, but many first time visitors tend to miss.
This is a phenomenal site, designed by an AP teacher to bring geospatial technologies into the classroom in a way that is incredibly user-friendly. This site allows you to use Google Earth with clickable layers. With multiple data layers of physical and human geography variables, this interactive globe puts spatial information in powerful, yet fun, student-inspired platform. Via Seth Dixon Delete the scoop?

This is not on the Top 10 list, only because it receives my "Best Geography Twitter App of the Year Award." This is a great site that combines the power of geography, social media and geospatial technologies. You can map where your twitter followers are (if they make the data publicly available). Additionally, you can pan, zoom and identify specific followers and map their networks. Can you find yourself on this map (followers of @APHumanGeog)?
