Google Art Project for Buzzing Artists

As the world wide web continues to enhance and develop, so does the the potential for teaching resources online.  Google has partnered with some of the leading art museums in the world to provide art work online.  Students and teachers can view museums in high resolution virtually and even zoom in on the art work as if you are actually there live.
Users are also able to create a virtual collection of their favourite art.  Can you forsee technology being used like this for other subjects?  Is there anything you envisage is needed to take education to the next level? We would love to hear your thoughts on this.
