Videos in Road Trip Videos in Road Trip Road Trip's videos entertain, advertise, and educate, but the main purpose of the videos is motivation. Therefore, much of the success of the program rides on how entertaining the videos are. Other videos are more narrative.
Different kids have different tastes.
In addition to entertainment, Road Trip videos provide two other functions. One is to encourage students to visit other destinations by advertising other, similar videos which they can see there. Students who watch Pete Rose break the major league hit record in Cincinnati are told they could also go to Atlanta to see Hank Aaron break the home run record. The other function is for the video to be educational in and of itself. We have found that even clips from feature films can be informative.
