Using GoogleEarth in the Classroom [Blog Post]
http://www.collaterallearning.com/2008/11/using-googleearth-in-the-classroom/
Using GoogleEarth in the Classroom
GoogleEarth is a great tool for education (more than just hunting for your house and seeing if you can count the missing shingles from your roof).
One great idea that I’ve passed on to a few of our teachers is using GoogleEarth as the starting point for creating Scavenger Hunts and WebQuests. Depending on grade level, student ability, and comfort level of the teacher these can be as simple or as complex as you want.

KoKae: Using Google Earth and eMaps
http://e-learning.geodata.soton.ac.uk/moodle/course/
KoKae: Using Google Earth and eMaps
Moodle online course (free)
This course was written and is tutored by Richard Treves. It is one of the projects of the distance learning team at the school of Geography, Southampton University (we don't have a separate web page).
Originally we formed to write courses for an MSc in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in partnership with the school of Geography at Leeds University. However, our activities have broadened out and we now also work with the school at Southampton on some of its undergraduate teaching and other projects involving e-learning (notably with Penn State University MSc in GIS and the GeoData institute at Southampton
This course was thought up as a reaction to the potential of Google Earth. We think that web mapping has finally come of age and that geography on the web is a rapidly growing area. At the present time we are not sure which direction the project is eventually going to take us but we plan to keep the main part of this site free for all users.
