Google Earth is a free down-loadable mapping program (that's just the tip of the iceberg) I have used Google Earth with my smartboard in my classroom to help students with disabilities be able to touch, zoom-in, and explore areas that we were studying in our Social Studies class Students can keep track of where they have virtually traveled. Google Earth is a powerful way to teach geography and history. I think it is most effective for students with disabilities when they can use Google Earth to help relate their experiences from their community to whatever they are currently going to study.
