Scrapbooking  
Students could create a physical scrapbook by adding photos with captions and collecting
and adding artifacts from the trip such as museum stubs or souvenirs.

Students could also find a digital scrapbooking program such as Shutterfly. Shutterfly is a
photo program where you can create photo books. They can be costly. Students could use
any number of free programs as simple as Google Slides or the free version of Canva. 

9. Photography
Capturing the travel experience with photos is an obvious road trip learning activity. Just
because it is obvious doesn't make it any less valuable. When taking pictures you see
things differently than you would if you weren't trying to get the perfect shot.

You notice more, learn to ask questions, and go to greater lengths (such as climbing this
hill just a little bit higher) to get that perfect shot. Students would experience the trip
from a unique perspective.

Try landscape photography, wildlife photography, environmental portraits, etc. and create
a gallery as an end product.

12. Make Postcards

Students can make their own postcards of stops along the way with any number of art
mediums such as photography, drawing, painting, charcoal, etc. They can then send their
postcards to friends and family as they travel. 

13. Social Media Documentation

The great thing about technology today is that students can share their experiences in
real-time, and all of them know how to do it! They could do Facebook Lives, write daily
blog posts, keep an updated website, vlog and add to Youtube, add experiences to
Instagram Stories, and so much more.

Students can document their trips as they are on them and post updates for friends and
family to follow along as they travel. I had my students do this on school trips with me.
We published a blog post at the end of each day of the trip.
My students have mostly blogged in the past, but they could have also vlogged, made a
podcast, a documentary, or simply provided updates on their own social media sites.

I took students on a bio trip to Costa Rica a few years ago and we blogged about the
experience right here on Experiential Learning Depot's website - check it out.
