Drones have many applications, are considered by many fields and disciplines to be incredibly useful tools. In my first post, I provided an overview of many issues associated with drones. In closing my first post I hinted I would author future posts, offering some current or potential uses. Some of the applications I identify are…

Whether you approve of drones or not is mostly irrelevant, drones are here to stay. Perhaps drone make you nervous. However, drones are invaluable technology which used in appropriate ways can be both fun, educational, and contribute towards understanding our Earth. I have four drones.

Students are fickle. They want an online course experience, the ability to work at their own pace, in their own environment, wherever that environment is, home, work, school, beach house, neighbor’s house, or Starbuck’s. In all course evaluations, online students report how they want more contact with faculty, how they don’t get email replies back…
