* Use of drones has expanded outside of military into business applications across multiple industries (Antanasov, 2006)* European Commission performed an impact report and found that by 2025 drones will account for 10% of all air traffic (2015)* The number of drone jobs in the US is set to exceed 100,000 by 2025
Pedagogical Approach to Drones in the Classroom
* As technology advances, the pedagogical approach needs to shift to include more technology-based competencies within curriculum* Carnahan, et. al, (2016) find the inclusion of drones in curriculum improves student motivation and engagement (affiliate link)* This allows for concrete examples of how STEM principles are applied* Soft skills, or professional skills are valuable to employers. Things like teamwork, problem-solving, and presentation skills. * Carnahan et al (2016) have created the SOAR model for drones in the classroom (affiliate link)* this focuses on the student's experience but follows research-based education on ethical, legal, and pragmatic uses of drone technology
SOAR model (Carnahan, 2016) (affiliate link) S - safety and legal issues O - operations, flight maintenance, and trouble-shooting A - Active learning, engagement in solving problems R - Research, practical applications
* This model has been successful in K-12 application of drones and can be successful in other types of drone education and training
Preliminary Assessment
* insurance company required a site risk assessment* what drones will be flown* safety plans* site survey* risk rating matrix* activity and site specific location* they conducted an assessment for every indoor and outdoor location where drone flights might occur* used the gym and larger classrooms without expensive audio-visual equipment* some outdoor sites were ruled out due to high voltage cables, CAA laws (UK)* decided it was necessary to have a certificate pilot on grounds for any event such as seminars, research activities, etc* decided it was necessary to train more staff to become certificated drone pilots
