Google Expeditions

Google Expeditions allows teachers to use Virtual Reality in the classroom to take students to locations around the world (and in some cases out of this world). Essentially the teacher selects the location and controls the view, but the students are free to explore it, moving their head around, up and down to see different aspects of the location.

Google Expeditions is currently in beta – you can sign up to test the app here. Once approved you are sent a link to the Play Store to download the App. To do this you must be logged into the same Google Account you requested the access from. Currently there is a single download which puts both “Guide” (the teacher app) and “Explorer” (the student app) on the device. While in beta all the devices have to remain logged into the same account (which is a bit of a pain if you want to run with a whole class), but I imagine this will be dropped when the product goes live.
