I just came across an article in the Free Technology for Teachers blog on Google’s recently updated virtual expeditions.  Essentially it allows the user to guide themselves through many of the world’s wonders in a virtual space.

I have utilized Google’s virtual services before in my undergrad at Brock University.  I was taking an elective on introduction to art and came across the Google Arts and Culture Institute where you are able to virtually navigate through many museums from around the world.  I found that this changed my perspective on art and really added to the overall learning experience.  I’m thinking their latest update will provide the same appreciation for millions of students.

Say what you will about Google as a Multinational Corporation…but these tools sure are handy when used for learning.
