2. Google Virtual Tours 
3. Google Expeditions
4. MS Classroom Expeditions

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Google Expeditions

Google Expeditions is a virtual reality (VR) platform developed by Google and designed for educational institutions. Using smartphones, the students could take virtual trips to various destinations.

• Google Expeditions is an app developed by Google that allows educators to go on virtual field trips with their students. One user, usually a teacher, serves as the guide to this virtual experience, while the others can follow along on the journey.
• The Google Expeditions app offered a variety of virtual excursions. These included trips to natural landscapes, tours of cultural institutions such as museums and explorations of historical, futuristic, and distant sights (such as dinosaurs or the moon). 
• The classroom is naturally the ideal place to use this app, so both teacher and students can explore different locations around the world while still being physically together.
• Students could also complete expeditions alone, meaning that teachers could assign these virtual tours as homework.
• Each school class kit contained 30 synchronized Google Cardboards with smartphones and a tablet for the teacher. Over 600 tours were available. Teachers, acting as expedition leaders, could highlight specific details to the class within each scene.

• Google Classroom is a free blended learning platform developed by Google for educational institutions that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students.
