Such innovations - and a number of smart acquisitions - have led to hits like Google Earth, Gmail, Picasa, Google Docs, Blogger, YouTube, Google Calendar and others. But they have also cultivated a vast jungle of lesser-known features. Unfortunately, it's so vast, you'd need a professional tour guide to help you find the gems.

Phenomenal set of lessons which use Google Earth to teach real world math. There are several lessons under each of 4 main topics: concepts, measurement, project-based learning, and exploratory. The author provides a screenshot, objectives and description of the lesson with a downloadable .kmz file and downloadable .doc worksheet. Probably more suitable for middle school or high school. If the Lessons link doesn't work from the main page, go to the resources page and click on lessons.
