My Project

My students are fun, loving, hardworking and technology lovers. They are 21st Century life-long learners. I love that they love learning and helping each other. They challenge me to become a better STEM teacher daily. They are simply the greatest students ever! They love being exposed to new STEM challenges. I love that we learn together. They are simply amazing!

Drones, drone applications and iPads have established themselves as versatile companions,this integration creates a seamless connection between aerial exploration and touch control,which will help my students with excepyionalities learn and apply drone concepts in a less distress manner .

According to Helperbird, "Students who use iPads in school tend to develop better critical thinking skills, higher-order reasoning skills, increased creativity, improved writing abilities, stronger communication skills, enhanced collaboration skills, a greater focus on tasks at hand, and improved organizational skills".

My students will use the iPad using the coding apps in order to help them learn the fundamentals and advance skills of drones. They will use the iPad to visually and kinesthetically observe what yaw right and yaw left, while applying lines of codes concepts to take pictures, troubleshoot, modify, create coding programs and have more engaging experiences in STEM class for all with our classroom drone.
