Stacey,
I worked with Archipelago Productions/Harcourt Brace on several
educational CD-ROM projects (circa 1997). Here's a synopsis:
http://www.brookscole.com/physics_d/templates/student_resources/003026961X_serway/cdinfo.html
It looks like the CDs are still available through Barnes & Nobles and others:

While these are not earth science CDs, they may provide some ideas
about interactive design in education.
With regard to programs that focus on volcanoes, you might want to
review some of the multimedia interactive exhibits that Sea Studios
produced for the U.S. Forest Service Coldwater Ridge Visitors' Center
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument:

There's also some good educational materials on the USGS web site:
http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/
And more here:

Good luck!
Regards,
Michael
