- Some of the activities are similar to our activities (which is fine)
- They will have a summer camp vs ESIP putting out an eBook
- They also have a simulation with drones to do aerial survey of a disaster area
eBook
- Looked at DISSCE as a template
- For now there is a log-in until the new server is finished being updated. DICCE demo” for user and “climate” for password, - http://dicce.sri.com/ -
- geared to be a lesson plan interface. Shareable and modifiable. We will show this as a 'formal' example in survey.
- eBook Requirements
- graphic design
- kid friendly
- Guidance about the ebook and content: We are being opportunistic - the bull’s-eyes is that the educators have learners who have drones - and they know how to fly - and want to do something with the drone.
Action items:
- 4 activities ready by October 28 -
- Meet weekly to prepare.
