TripPA Tips: Using AI to Craft Your Itinerary

EdTech Innovations, Educational Trip Planning

There are so many ways AI can save teachers time when organising school trips, from language translation to creating detailed packing lists. In this TripPA Tips post, we’ll explore five ways AI can help: brainstorming and comparing destinations, personalising the itinerary based on your students’ needs, and quickly suggesting some alternatives when plans need to change at short notice! Along the way, we’ll share tried-and-tested prompts, show you how to customise them for your own needs, and give you a peek at what the output could look like from some of the most popular free AI assistants available.

Propose and Approve school trips, whether that's to the museum, a sports fixture, a concert or a camping expedition!

Introducing Trip Proposal and Approval

EdTech Innovations, Educational Trip Planning

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.

Introducing the “Moments” Feature

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.
