In the science faculty at Largs Academy, there was recently a visit from Google, showcasing the new Expeditions technology.
This new innovation allows learners to be instantly transported to field trips without leaving the class room, and during the taster day, pupils were given the opportunity to see the principal sites of scientific and historical importance.
It was certainly a unique experience being able to walk through the amazon and visit the slums of Rio through an app which allows the teacher to guide the virtual tour.
