ED Trip Journalist

I am the official ED Trip Journalist

You’ve been anticipating this trip for months. You’ve done the projects and the door to door canvassing to raise funds for you and your group to spend time together sightseeing, learning and building lifelong memories. The entire school system and your community are involved in making the trip a reality. Help promote your adventure to future members, your classmates and your supporters through video, still photos and posts while documenting, for history, your group’s travels. Congratulations on being an Educational Destinations Trip Journalist.

Be an Official ED Trip Journalist

Help document the memories for your community as an Educational Destinations trip journalist

Your Assignment: Take photos throughout the trip. Keep a journal of the experience. Maybe conduct an interview or two. Capture a bit of video. Encourage your fellow travelers to post to social media using the hashtag #edtravels and your specific group hashtag.

At the end of the trip, recap your experience and your group's journey in order to preserve those memories. Remember that there are many traveling with you. Try to include as many as you can, not just your closest friends. Send your text and media to Chris at chris.frick@educationaldestinations.com and we will publish your trip notes into a blog post. After teacher review, you can share with your community.

What you’ll need:

  • A digital device or notepad to record your daily notes
  • A camera or device that acts as a camera and recorder
  • Good writing skills
  • A great personality
  • Dedication

General guidelines:

  • Submit your group's social media tags (if you have any)
  • Discuss trip highlights and insight into your experience
  • Landscape photos preferred
  • Have fun with photos but use good judgment
  • Photo(s) of your group learning (You might have to enlist a non-student for this) and other trip highlights
  • If you are including video, landscape HD is preferred
  • Get a quote from your Teacher about her/his experience with ED, and include the Teacher’s picture
  • You might want to include a thank you to those involved (family, staff, community) in making your trip a reality
  • When submitting your content to ED, please submit photos at the full/highest quality
  • Once the blog is complete, your Teacher will have final approval on the post before it can be shared publicly
  • The photos and text submitted will be proofed and edited, and they may be used in ED marketing

Once you are done:

Email your media to Chris at chris.frick@educationaldestinations.com. If you are submitting video, please do by using means other than email. If you have additional questions, you can also reach out to Chris.
