Google Earth for Educators

My 5th grade students have become restless to try something new, so I have unleashed them on Google Earth. Within just a couple of weeks they have become pros at recording tours, using the flight simulators, and speaking to aliens on Mars (yes there really is an Instant messenger where students can interact with an alien).
In an effort to keep them engaged in this program for a while longer, I checked out Google Earth for Educators. It has lesson plans, ideas, tutorials and tips, a student showcase, a forum to talk to other teachers about using the program in class.
