This introductory course takes educators through the basics of using Google Earth’s Free Version and looks at classroom integration ideas from K-12. There are over 40 minutes of online videos for educators to familiarize themselves with the application, as well as different opportunities for educators to collaborate through topic specific wiki’s, discussions, and potential synchronous chats.
Feeds from topic specific blogs, a large directory of Google Earth files and a curriculum ideas and resource wiki are just a few of the resource that you will find in this course.
What makes this course different form other online courses is the ability to modify the course content and change the direction of the course through the use of topical wiki’s, discussion and synchronous chats.
When you have completed the course try the different quizzes and see if you have what it takes to be a Google Earth Edumaster.

Hi Quentin,
Thanks for letting the rest of us share in this resource. Will look at it closer on the weekend but have registered already. Noticed you’re putting together a Moodle course for Web 2.0. Have contributed to a collaborative effort about Web 2.0 with other educators and the booklet will be coming out in its final form in the next week or so. Loads of web 2.0 information you might find useful. Will share it with you when it comes out in its final version.
Have also put together a wiki for some pd sessions I’m planning. It can be found at http://www.joevans.pbwiki.com. Have included your excellent RSS resource as one of the links.
Thanks again for all the sharing you’ve done.
Cheers
John
Forgot to mention I’ve cross posted the Google Earth 101 info to my blog. Thanks again.

Glad you are going to explore John.
If Google Earth goes well, I have plans for modules on Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and RSS – hence the Web 2.0 categort.
Love to see the wiki – I think it is password protected though? And looking forward to your Web 2.0 booklet
