0:02:35 > 0:02:42Woah!

0:02:42 > 0:02:46This is virtual reality learning where kids can explore

0:02:46 > 0:02:49amazing places without even leaving the classroom.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53I can see the Great Wall of China!

0:02:53 > 0:02:56It's part of a new project designed by Google to bring

0:02:56 > 0:02:58learning to life.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02their teacher wants to take them.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Using just a smartphone, this cardboard headset.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07And a selection of apps.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09It's an amazing experience for these children.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Now we can go on a school trip under the sea.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16all without leaving the classroom.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19The experience uses 3-D and 360 degrees

0:03:19 > 0:03:22images and videos and is being tested in schools around the world.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25So, what do these guys think?

0:03:25 > 0:03:28People my age like this because you get to

0:03:28 > 0:03:30see all the different parts of the world.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I've seen the stars.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I've seen the sun. I've seen the Earth.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45You can just see what's under the sea and if

0:03:45 > 0:03:47you can't swim, you can just use the goggles.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50It makes it more fun to

0:03:50 > 0:03:54come to school because you know that every day you're going to get a

0:03:54 > 0:03:57surprise and at the same time you're going to learn.
