Abstract

Growth in the use of drones has been exponential in various fields due to their adaptable and cross-disciplinary functions. Incorporating this new technology into K–12 classrooms can be useful in engaging students and expanding their understanding of technology in the scientific workplace; however, beginners may run into challenges in designing meaningful lessons. To tackle the seemingly daunting task of using drones effectively for education, this article walks a novice instructor through various self-reflective questions in order to properly introduce a drone lesson and includes a number of resources to ensure proper safety and legal measures.
