TripPA Tips: Using AI to Craft Your Itinerary

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.

TripPA Tips: Packing your Teacher Bag

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.

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!
