Students participate in Discovery Education's Bridge to the Future Virtual Field Trip to explore the rapidly growing world of Extended Reality (XR). Through immersive videos and interactive experiences, students learn how Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) are transforming industries such as healthcare, education, manufacturing, entertainment, and workforce training. Students examine real-world applications of XR technology and explore careers connected to emerging technologies.

Students practice vocabulary or grammar (parts of speech) using customized puzzles you create with this site's online puzzle-making tools. The puzzles can be used for supplemental practice activities, fillers, or as homework. Puzzles types include word search, criss-cross (crossword), double puzzle, fallen phrase, letter tiles, cryptogram, and hidden message.
