Google Earth is great, but it does take a lot of time to get to know it. I think the GE webpage has a tutorial right on it. If not, just google it. Like Colin said, be sure the layers (at the bottom) that you don't want are unchecked or it gets crazy busy. You could add placeholders with information (River, stats, photo, etc.) on one particular spot on the river. Yes, tours will "fly" you into the placeholder or areas, but you need to prerecord it.

The problem with rivers is that that are not specific as much as buildings or cities but you should still be able to get the general outline of the river. <br/><br/>The secret to using Google Earth is to do all your searching before hand, bookmark it and untick all the extras that Google Earth wants to show you (like places, labels, etc.) so that there is not too much clutter around to get distracted by. So that you are ready to go with your class and the results are what you desire.
