"I'm pleased to say that John Bailey and I have a paper out in "Google Earth and Virtual Visualizations in Education and Research" on 19 best practices on how to design Google Earth tours for education. The paper isn't free to download but to give you a taster I've taken a table from a draft of the paper  which summarizes the best practices discussed (note GET = Google Earth Tour).  I've discussed many of these best practices on this blog so I've added links to posts within the table (some posts also discuss other topics)."
