Google are coming in to Brentwood County High School on Wednesday to share their expedition software with students and staff.
With Google Expeditions, students “can take field trips right from their classroom". Expeditions allows a teaching acting as a ‘guide’ to lead classroom-sized groups of ‘explorers’ through collections of 3600 and 3D images while pointing out interesting sights along the way.”
Students will be coming down for half-hour sessions and using virtual reality headsets to explore in 3600 and 3D images subjects ranging from the respiratory system to masterpieces of the 19th Century, from beating Ebola in Sierra Leone to the First World War. Eighteen different subjects will be covered over the day. Teachers will then link the remainder of the lesson to the virtual world they had visited.
Stephen Drew, Headteacher, said “This is an amazing opportunity for our young people and staff. We are looking forward to the experience of the virtual world coming to our school.”
