Searth the Earth

Searthing - searching the earth for art.  Not, man-made - but, geographical art.

from their intro: Searthing is the concept of searching the Earth for art via virtual globe such as Earth 3D Viewer, Edge Whole Earth, KeyHole, Google Universe, and now Google Earth. This art is actually satellite imagery, remote sensing, aerial photography and combinations thereof.  Only in the past decade has technology made it possible to scour the Earth and see things we would otherwise never see.  Searthing is the concept of searching the Earth for art via virtual globe such as Earth 3D Viewer, Edge Whole Earth, KeyHole, Google Universe, and now Google Earth.

They have video clips posted for using Google Earth and Maps to "searth".  You can turn this into a motivational way for students to explore their world.
