Hot on the heels of the recent launch of Street View, Google last week released the new Explore the Ocean feature of Google Earth. This new feature allows users to explore the depths and even investigate famous shipwrecks from the comfort of their home or office.
The updated version of Google Earth also includes the Mars 3D feature.
So with not just the world, but the universe soon to be at our fingertips, what does this mean for schools? Will tools such as Google Earth enhance the learning experience? Will virtual exploration replace the real thing?
