As announced last night on the Google Lat Long Blog, there is now a Google Earth imagery layer showing the effects of the earthquake on Haiti. The layer is fairly basic at this point, highlighting a few key areas, but it is still useful for showing before and after images of Haiti. You can download the KML file here.

Today, I did show my students both before and after images on Google Earth, and perhaps I am not savvy enough to know what to show them, but they were not able to see much difference before and after! Any hints?
I found that you have to really play around with the angle of viewing in order get the best views. That said, the imagery isn't terribly clear. Probably the best thing to do is view the Panoramio images as the "before" images then look at the Geo Eye layer.
