GA Conference 2019 - Post #8 - Richard Allaway droning on...

Richard Allaway led a session on the use of Drones at the GA Conference. He referred to them as 'disruptive technology' and shared plenty of ways that they are being used in a positive way, and not just to annoy people at tourist sites, or disrupting air traffic. There were also ideas for using them to teach Geography of course.



As part of the session, he gave someone an opportunity to win a drone.
Read this Kit Rackley blogpost on the use of Drones to get some more ideas on this technology.

Richard shared a video which showed the impact at Gatwick of the recent drone activity - fortunately there was no disruption when I passed through there recently.



There are numerous ways that drones can be used, and Richard shared a few of those with us, as well as considering some implications for using drones with students.
Check out the dedicated website here, which has a link to Richard's presentation.

He has also shared his images that he has taken using his own drone here.

Here's the specific DRONE GALLERY.

It's always worth hearing Richard speak. I look forward to seeing what he has to say next year.
