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.
