The basics of Google Earth

…and from the Google Earth blog no less. This site is a collection of pages with information to users who are new to Google Earth. You can also peruse the rest of the site for up-to-date information, tips and suggestions for using Google Earth. Definitely worth checking out if you are new to the software.

You can also have a look at some of Contour Education’s free resources, the Spatial from Scratch booklet runs you through all of the relevant features of the software for teachers who want to create a virtual field trip.
