  Using AI ideas included  Exciting news! New entire revised and updated Scotland Unit for National Travel and Tourism in a 28 page PDF file that you can pick activities from - including attached Sways. It is engaging and colourful with fun activities to meet the outcomes, along with lots of exemplars and guidance. “Outlander” and “Dark Tourism” are used as trends that students immediately find interesting, as well as activities about pushing products on social media. They are also encouraged to set up their own agency and promote it using social media. Students are asked to think about interior design in holiday rentals and the use that AI can be in that design. In addition, they can start to think about their own wellbeing with simple changes they can make to be more “coorie”. The resource also includes access to two free Sway presentations. One provides exemplars for helping with mapping, the use of AI in designing, and understanding marketing in hospitality. The other allows the co

Engage you students by challenging them to survive whilst becoming lost in a hot desert. Firstly they can do some research for the task by accessing relevant film clips and information using a free Sway included as part of this resource. Students then make up a hot desert survival kit with a partner or group. This survival kit is then tested by way of hot desert survival scenarios. This is great fun and gets very competitive when used in the classroom and prizes can be offered… Students love it! A consolidation task is provided at the end to make use of the knowledge gained. The resource is bright and colourful. It is aimed at 10 to 14 year olds but to be honest, it can be used with any age group. This resource bundle consists of a 5 page PDF and a free information Sway.

Thankfully I have never experienced the full horror, destruction and heartbreak of a tornado, and it must be so terrifying for those who have. However, on a trip to Poland, quite unexpectedly, I did experience what it is like to be on the edge of one. I know, you are probably saying to yourself - do you get tornadoes in Poland?

You could see it weaving through the baroque old town buildings of Krakow with terrifying speed. Trees snapped over before my eyes and
