We all remember the "What did you do this summer?" question, right? Well, teachers want exciting trips they can talk about, too.

About 75 percent of teachers visit social media regularly, compared to 67 percent of the general population, according to MDR research . If teachers go on a great trip, plenty of people will hear, see, and read about it.
