Google Expeditions is asking teachers in primary and secondary schools to sign up to its free programme of virtual trips for the classroom. Participating classes receive a phone and Google Expeditions virtual reality (VR) viewer for every child, as well as a tablet for the teacher and an accompanying Expeditions coordinator. Next, the teacher selects a destination, and the entire classroom jumps there automatically. Based on the Britain curriculum, the programme transports children to places they would not ordinarily be able to explore, from outer space to the Great Barrier Reef .
