That’s a shot of my office. I think I can almost make out my car. This isn’t just for the U.S. folks, you can see the world with this tool. (You should probably listen to John Hanke’s talk at O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 Conference for some background about Google Earth.) Maybe you’re talking with your students about the importance of Mount Fuji in Japanese culture. Why not take a tour of the mountain and surrounding area? This screenshot shows how you can change your point of view.

I need to play with this some more, but suffice it to say that Google Earth will be going on every student iBook in our 1-to-1 program as soon as possible.

Update: I missed it in my initial scan of the Google Earth page, but make sure you check out the Google Earth Community to see some examples of what others are doing with the Google Earth technology.
