I think the Google Earth project is a good idea if it is done well and if it really would be better than any other project. Obviously, some subjects would not work well with this kind of learning experience. For things like Geography, this could be really awesome. Upsides would be that the kids get to see the real location, experience what it looks like, and play around with it. They can travel to anywhere in the world. I think it could gets kids really excited about the subject.
A downside is that this is time consuming! But then again, you could use the tour again and again, and it could get faster to make with practice. Another downside is that the school must have the technology to support this kind of project, and not all schools have that technology.
