What's a Google Expedition, you ask? A Google Expedition is an educational app that takes students on a virtual field trip to hundreds of places on the on Earth and even all the way to Mars. Using Google Images, satellite photos, and NASA photos, students can ascend Olympus Mons and see a sandstorm on Mars. They look for sea turtles in the Great Barrier Reef and follow a weather balloon as it journeys up through the stratosphere.
Kempsville High School students are lucky to be among a group of students and teachers who were asked to beta-test the application in class today. 9th grade cluster students from World History, Biology, and Algebra II/Trig had a chance to put on the goggles and explore with their teachers.

Students were so excited to be among the first to get their hands on the technology. The kids were engaged and excited. It was amazing to watch! All I heard from the kids were comments like, "this is a game changer" "how cool is this?!" "ohmigosh, look at the..." "woooa!" I even overheard a few students who were trying to come up with their own design prototype for the goggles! Even the teachers were enamored--check out more pictures below.
