First physical Google learning space opens in Brazil

GREAT BRANDING: Brazil

The search giant already offers students and teachers a host of virtual tools, from apps to its Hangouts sessions for improving academic attainment via technology, but the new space at the privately-run Colégio Mater Dei school in São Paulo marks a world first. 

Kitted out with a sound system, ultra-fast wireless broadband internet, smart TVs and Chromecasts, Eduardo Gomide describes the space as "A collaborative learning centre where students of all ages come to read, learn, and share using technology in a specially designed environment," and one that is a logical progression.
