My Take
Overall, I think this tool is a great way to enhance learning and engage students. Having this visual and alternate reality is highly beneficial in the classroom and only helps increase their understanding of the topic.
How I Use It
When studying history or science especially, this tool is great to provide students with many different adventures without leaving the classroom. Go and see a wonder of the world, visit Niagara Falls, see the pyramid ruins, visit the ocean etc. Its all possible with Google Expeditions.

Azores with STC. Excellent organisation of the trip and delivery on site
Fab - no complaints. Although students did not get to go whale watching they are mature enough to realise that weather conditions are important!

Awesome tool! I loved it!
I loved it! It was very engaging and unique. It allowed students to explore new places without ever leaving their seats. The teacher was able to lead the expeditions or the teacher could have a student lead the expedition. I really liked this because it let students have the choice of exploring what they want. I also loved all the different options! There were coves to discover, old buildings, the human body, etc. It really encompassed everyones interests and kept everyone engaged. The only thing I did not like about it was it caused motion sickness. I was not the only one to experience it but I am sure that is just a common side effect of virtual reality.
