This looks very cool. Quite big (2G) but maybe you can talk to the ICT department... I saw a similar thing for Ancient Rome on Google Earth but you need a powerful computer to run it and my laptop wasn't up to the job. Gen-Y is so visual, things like this can be great tools.
I am just starting a blog as part of a reflective practice. I also want to use it to connect with people who are interested in education and interested in smart inclusion of technology into the classroom. It's brand new, but I have a post on there with examples of what we're doing at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, NJ.
