Free software: Google Sketchup

If you're into using technology and are looking for a unique way for students to get "into" literature, you may want to consider Google Sketchup, a free program that allow users to build 3 dimensional buildings and objects. Here is one example... and in Google Sketchup you can zoom and look inside the building, complete with furniture and characters. Here is the description of this model, the house from Wuthering Heights. Amazing if you ask me :)
"This is a model of Wuthering Heights created for my website on the book. It was created after research into the design and layout of the house from the book and contains separate rooms, fireplaces, windows, and true thickness walls. This version has improved textures (the walls, for instance, are of millstone grit, the local stone) and more interior objects."
