Google Earth's Timeline, if you haven't discovered that feature will allow you to compare and contrast imagery from an area from the present 2010/11 to 1993-1995 images. Click the 'clock' button and a timeline that you can slide to the past appears. Nice historical possibilities with this option.

Many geography teachers bemoan the state of geography in education and I understand that frustration for more explicitly ‘geography’ courses; I also see this type of interdisciplinary activity as way to create a geography that is a part of all classrooms. So talk to an English teacher about a collaborative project–it just might get you somewhere.

"Real World Math: Using Google Earth in the Math Curriculum." Back to my interdisciplinary approach to strengthening geographic education, image hearing that there is a Math teacher at your school using this, wouldn't you want to be a part of it? Too often knowledge is taught within disciplinary silos; students need opportunities to make real world connections between the disciplines to breath life into how they are taught. This site reminds me of http://www.googlelittrips.org/ which allows real world geography to be a part of literature/English classes.
