What is a KML file? It is the primary file type that Google earth reads from Google maps. It is interpreted and spit out into the globe program Google Earth. If you watched my video, you might get an idea as to how to port a Google Map into Google earth, and that is simply by downloading and opening the KML file Maps creates for your custom map.
On the Google in Education site, I found a lesson plan idea that I can adapt for music students. I can create a map on Google Earth and superimpose pictures of composers (rather than presidential candidates) over birthplaces, famous cities in their lives, deathplaces, etc. and show it to the students. Or I can attach genres of music over different muscial eras and do the same thing, even incorporating sound into the presentation.
This assignment falls under pretty much all of standard 2 "design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments." it is a very well-worth-it project and can be used in multiple ways, I can even use it to test students knowledge of what they learned. They can listen to music and judge where it came from in the world using this program and a great use of what I can do with it.
