SchoolTrip

SchoolTrip postcard

Schooltrip is a tool that allows students to create their own school journey. Through an online interface the teacher can set a couple of parameters defining the skeleton of the trip.

Students fill the template with information on practicalities, cultural heritage sites to visit, historical information, and so on. They learn to plan a travel froma to z, while incorporating our cultural heritage.

At the end, a journal-like document is generated which can be used as itinerary guidebook.

Students fill the template with information on practicalities, cultural heritage sites to visit, historical information, and so on.

The students, guided by the teacher, learn to plan a travel froma to z, while incorporating our cultural heritage.

At the end, a journal-like document is generated which can be used as itinerary guidebook.

The travel journal, which is the end product of the Schooltrip trajectory, requires thus:

  • preparatory work by the teacher/administrator
  • searching content (texts, images, links, ...) by the students

SchoolTrip also features a function to search for additionalmedia on Europeana.
