Drones have become so popular that lately it seems everyone has one. Why wouldn’t they? Today’s models are practically flying on their own, creating breathtaking images and videos, and offering a fun way to get away from your daily tasks and problems. Via John Evans

The best drones for kids are those that engage play, inspire creativity and don’t break after being bounced into walls! While younger kids may love the idea of flying a drone high in the sky, many drones are not for beginners. These little machines will get thrashed about so finding a durable drone is important. There is such a variety of features to consider, that picking the perfect drone might seem like an impossible task. Finding drones for teens is an easier job as the majority of drones are suitable for over 14’s. Some drones feature very high resolution HD cameras, some only take still pictures, and others are just great fun for gaming. Gearing up for the holiday season, many new drones will be available later in the year. Here is a list of 16 popular and soon to be released drones for kids and teens in 2017. Via John Evans

Updated May 2017 "Peering up, a teacher asked me, “What are we going to use it for?” as I flew our shiny new drone up between the umbrellas on the quad, past the roof of the gym, and into the low scattered clouds. The camera projected back to my iPhone, and I could see the newly planted trees in our quad, the only green for miles in the Mondrian concrete grid that is our local community. Via John Evans

Geat ideas! I've been trying to inaccurate different aspect of digital pedagogies into my geography lessons and this article on drones looks awesome. Defiantly will incorporate your ideas into my lessons- much more engaging then using textbooks for the same activities.

This source is an eye opener to the new ways of now we can accept and adapt technology into the classroom. After reading, I see how valuable drones really are for education. I especially can see the value in implementing them into geography, HPE and science classes. I'm very impressed by the explanation of the SOAR model, which stands for Safety (ethics and legal use), Operation (flight and maintenance), Active learning (engagement in problem solving), and Research (practical applications).". Great source!

Contrary to the belief that technology can be distracting for students, using drones in the classroom can be used as a tool for enriching students' imagination and awaking their natural curiosity. Via John Evans, Juergen Wagner

Drones are a great new technology and really cheap ones can be found online. It is great that schools are teaching students to fly drones because the drone photography industry is growing and has the potential to be huge in the future

This was an interesting article on how to use drones in the classroom to spark students' passion for the use of technology. Some benefits using drones might bring into the classroom such as this device will reach areas that are unreachable to the human eye. Students can take pictures of places or scenery and students can speak of these places, describe them and write about them. Another benefit is to use drones to incorporate math by using the device's movement and calculating distance and time. Technology is here and why not incorporate it into the education system to spark students' curiosity.

An interesting articles on where drones can assist mankind and provide information in a myriad of ways.
Perhaps useful in Digital Technologies studies. |
