Google Earth: The New Mentor Text (Webinar)
It will be listed under the "On-Demand" tab

When Google Earth is used as a mentor text, it becomes an empathy machine inspiring students to expand outwards beyond the classroom with curiosity and care. Learn how Earth’s many applications can be incorporated within inquiry-based instruction when students use Earth Voyager as an engaging nonfiction text and demonstrate their understanding with Tour Builder.

This was excellent.  I encourage folks to give it a watch.  Tara shares some excellent "ready to use" resources at the end.
