This book was written for educators who want to incorporate drones into their curriculum but have no idea where to start. It covers all you need to implement a drone program in your school, including recommendations as to the drones that are best for specific students' age levels and subject areas, and which drones need to be registered and where you can fly them. It provides.lesson plans, real-world applications, and tips on securing funding for drones.
As drones become more sophisticated and inexpensive, technology experts and educators alike expect their use to proliferate within classrooms and around school environments generally. As a tool for research, newsgathering, and multimedia instruction, the potential to leverage drones for learning is vast. This book guides readers through some of the endless possibilities available to students hoping to use drones in school projects, teachers employing them in their lessons, and even their use by administrators and other members of the school community, like school security specialists, physical education teachers, and student and faculty organizers of extracurricular activities and performances.

It covers such basic but important information as which drones need to be registered and where you can fly them. It also provides recommendations as to the drones that are best for specific students' age levels and subject areas. Complete with lesson plans, real-world applications, and tips on securing funding for drones, the information provided here will offer you everything you need to know to start using drones in the classroom.
What in the world is a social scientist doing collaborating with an engineer, and an engineer with a sociologist, and together on a book about drones and sociotechnical thinking in the classroom? This book emerges from a frustration that disciplinary silos create few opportunities for students to engage with others beyond their chosen major. In this volume, Hoople and Choi-Fitzpatrick introduce a sociotechnical approach to truly interdisciplinary education around the exciting topic of drones. The text, geared primarily at university faculty, provides a hands-on approach for engaging students in challenging conversations at the intersection of technology and society. Choi-Fitzpatrick and Hoople provide a turnkey solution complete with detailed lesson plans, course assignments, and drone-based case studies. They present a modular framework, describing how faculty might adopt their approach for any number of technologies and class configurations.
Your students want to know how to fly drones. Your students need to know how to fly drones. Drones are an amazingly flexible tool to teach STEM, the creative arts, and career education. There has never been a better time to use drones to engage your students' intellect and creativity, and this curriculum guide and activity book shows you how. Learning to fly drones is a life-long learning endeavor that engages a wide diversity of learners. Hobbyist who love to tinker with flying machines, photographers who want to capture images from amazing angles, farmers who want to monitor their fields, realtors who want to show properties for sale, scientists who want to safely monitor volcanoes, emergency response teams who want to prepare for what they are encountering, sports enthusiasts who want to pit their precision flying skills against one another, and, perhaps most important, educators who want to position their students for the best possible career pathways.The carefully designed and classroom-proven scope and sequence of lesson plans-- including 20-activities, 40-flight mission challenges, and learning quizzes in this curriculum guide--bring the countless advantages to building a team of learners to learn about drones:--Everyone on the team gets to race their own drone and feel the thrill of competition by increasing their flying skills.--Everyone on the team gets to take their pictures and create videos fulfilling the desire to create individual art. --Everyone on the team gets to capture data and do meaningful analysis integrating mathematics and science in relevant contexts. --Everyone on the team is responsible for establishing and planning for safety and ethical flying in empathetic consideration of others.--Everyone on the team learns how to troubleshoot, conduct preventative maintenance, and make basic mechanical and electrical repair of their drones--Everyone on the team participates in designing and planning missions, cultivating leadership, collaboration, and 21st Century workplace skills

This book introduces the concept of using drones as a teaching tool to explore the fundamental principles, technology and applications of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A short introduction sets CPS in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, and describes various CPS technologies including self-driving cars, commercial intelligent drones and mobile robots, in which artificial intelligence routinely supports smarter decision-making. The core of the book then focuses on commercially available drones, the only available system offering the advantage of cyber-physical bridging through 3D autonomous dynamic flying in classroom conditions. Chapters describe drone technology, including location sensors and imaging systems. CPS theory is explained through typical drone flying procedures and do-it-yourself (DIY) aerial photography in which communication between sensors, actuators and controllers occurs through cyber-physical bi-directional bridging. This book opens new possibilities in fostering 4th industrial revolution literacy, introducing relevant examples from readily available equipment, making core elements of cyber-physical bridging accessible. It is aimed primarily at those students who have an interest in CPS, drones and those from disciplines that are concerned with spatial information.
Drone Essential Knowledge and Skills (DEKS) is about helping students go from general awareness of drones to flying safely as part of a team, then earning the FAA Part 107 commercial license and starting their own drone business. Drones are becoming more relevant and pervasive in our schools and society. Students need to know and understand how drones can be used in STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math), as well as community service and professional opportunities like starting a drone business. The official FAA name for drones is Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or Vehicles (UAV). For the purposes of this inquiry book, we'll use the more common name of "drone."DEKS are designed to scaffold students through knowledge of drones, safety and resonsible usage, technical knowledge and skills to become a commerical drone operator, intern with a drone business, then build their own drone business in their local community. These questions will help guide the student and teachers through that process. We encourage you to answer these questions with fellow students and teachers, then add your own questions. And find those answers."The question is the answer." We encourage your curiosity, understanding, and ethical actions towards making drones safe and productive tools in your school, community, and world. And learnhow to start and run your own drone business.
There has never been a better time to use drones to engage your students' intellect and creativity, and this curriculum guide and activity book shows you how. Learning to fly drones is a life-long learning endeavor that engages a wide diversity of learners. Hobbyist can tinker with flying machines, photographers can capture images from new angles, farmers can monitor their fields, realtors can improve properties sales, scientists can safely monitor volcanoes, emergency response teams can cover twice the area in half the time, sports enthusiasts who want to pit their precision flying skills against one another, and, perhaps most important, educators who want to set their students on the best possible career paths.The carefully designed and classroom-proven scope and sequence of lesson plans-- including 25-activities, 40-flight mission challenges, and learning quizzes in this curriculum guide--bring the countless advantages to building a team of learners to learn about drones:Everyone on the team gets to race and test their flying skills.Everyone on the team can take pictures to create videos and personalized art. Everyone on the team gets to capture data and analyze integrated mathematics and science in relevant contexts. Everyone on the team is responsible for establishing and planning safe and ethical flying practices.Everyone on the team learns to troubleshoot, conduct preventive maintenance, and make basic mechanical and electrical repair of their dronesEveryone on the team designs and plans missions cultivating leadership and collaboration for 21st Century workplace skills
