Right now, teachers can choose from a library of 100+ virtual trips to places like Mars, the Great Barrier Reef and the Great Wall of China. But Google is constantly adding more trips with the help of partners like PBS, educational publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, British documentarian David Attenborough in collaboration with Alchemy VR, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. They are also working with the Starfish Foundation to help students explore future careers by showing them a virtual day in the life of professionals including a veterinarian and computer scientist. And to help students achieve those career goals, they are working with First Lady Michelle Obama to support her Reach Higher initiative by taking students on virtual college tours.
Expeditions is a virtual reality platform built for the classroom. Teachers and content partners from around the world created more than 100 engaging journeys - making it easy to immerse students in entirely new experiences.
Expeditions are guided tours of places school buses can't go. They are comprised of virtual reality panoramas and are led by a guide or teacher.
Using a tablet, teachers can guide up to 50 students wearing virtual reality viewers. Teachers can guide their class and point out highlights while referring to editable notes.
