Soaring to New Heights

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent professional learning opportunity, Introduction to Drones for Teachers, which took flight and opened up new horizons for both educators and students alike.

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, it's essential for educators to stay ahead of the curve. Our dedicated teachers embraced this opportunity to delve into the world of drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), through a comprehensive training program.

Highlights of the Basic Drone Training:

  1. Introduction to Drones: Teachers delved into the basics of drone technology, gaining insights into components, functionalities, and safety measures.

  2. Flight Operations: Through hands-on sessions, our educators became familiar with control techniques.

  3. Educational Integration: The training focused on innovative ways to seamlessly integrate drones into various subjects.

  4. Safety Protocols: Emphasis was placed on safety measures and responsible drone use, ensuring a secure learning environment for both educators and students. As well as the laws and requirements imposed by the FAA.

  5. Application in the Classroom: Teachers brainstormed and shared creative ideas on how drones can enhance teaching methodologies, creating an engaging and inspiring atmosphere in the classroom.

Drones offer a unique perspective, inspiring curiosity and exploration, particularly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
