Schools are facing more frequent questions from parents about the use of electronic tracking devices on educational visits in recent years. There are both risks and benefits associated with the use of electronic trackers, presenting ethical implications to schools. This TripPA post considers some of the key points which schools will want to weigh up when designing school trip policy for these devices.
Happy New Year! As we move closer towards the release of the TripPA school trip management app, we’ll be sharing some key tips for running great educational visits for all ages, which we hope will be useful for EVCs and teachers alike. While the TripPA app will help to streamline all that pre-trip admin and paperwork, doing your own packing for a school trip will still often be the last thing you think about. However, it’s important to look after yourself and your own needs if you want to run a great school trip. So, to ensure you don’t end up without a key item on your next visit, read our teacher bag packing list to help you pack!
When it comes to planning school trips, keeping everything organised can be a challenge. That’s why we created the Document Manager, an essential feature of the TripPA School Trip Management App. Designed to take the hassle out of managing paperwork, it’s another way we can help you run great trips without trip-ups.
The number of school trips taking place in the UK has been declining in recent years – and it’s not for lack of enthusiasm from teachers or students. Although there are many factors feeding into this, the mountain of admin required just to submit a trip proposal isn’t helping. At TripPA, we believe no child should miss out on enriching experiences beyond the classroom because of admin overload. That’s why we’ve designed a solution to make planning trips as simple as possible for both teachers and Educational Visits Coordinators.
The most important part of any educational visit or off-site activity is the people that are on the trip! With large numbers of pupils it can quickly become cumbersome to manage all that information, and that’s where TripPA’s People Manager is here to help, ensuring you can run trips without trip-ups. This feature-packed tool, part of our School Trip Management App, simplifies every aspect of participant management.
As any teacher knows, when students head off on a school trip, their parents are left wondering, “what are they up to?”. And yes, parents always want those school trip photos and videos while the trip is happening! Traditional methods, like sending updates by email or text, are a hassle for teachers and parents, and it’s hard to manage securely. Enter our “Moments” feature, a social-style space in TripPA’s School Trip Management App that makes it effortless to share engaging media and updates with parents, in real-time. With trips without trip-ups as our promise, we’re here to make every educational visit safer, simpler, and way more fun to share.
Putting together an enriching and exciting itinerary for a school trip is one of the most important tasks in the planning of a successful educational visit, but it can often be an admin nightmare! With TripPA’s simple-to-use and intuitive itinerary manager integrated into the web and mobile apps, you can say goodbye to these headaches and save time.
