I started een graphical geography-learning program in december last year. 
Unfortunately I had to put development on hold due to lack of time about two 
months ago. See: http://matthijs.tux.nu/ktopo/. I have mentioned it a few 
times on de kde-edu mailing list. Since you mentioned such a program I 
thought you might want to know about it.

The really big problem for me back then, which took too much time and made 
working on it less fun, was finding a way to produce good-looking consistent 
maps on various scales and around the world. I investigated quite some 
GIS-software (see http://www.freegis.org/) but never really found what I was 
looking for.

I thought this information might be of use to you.
