This project is designed to further develop the Lewis Dots iOS app, expanding its features. There is an educational need for improved sharing and collaboration tools in the classroom and the team is working to develop a prototype to test additional features of their app that harness collaborative learning, instant metadata feedback, and gamified learning. The Lewis Dots invention provides user with a touch-screen experience of chemistry. Future development of this technology plans to enable a more visual tool for communicating chemistry concepts, allowing teachers to communicate with students, but also students to communicate with teachers and amongst each other. The project team's approach considers learning in the classroom as a user experience from both the teacher and student perspectives. There are few ubiquitous interactive methods to communicate chemistry amongst K-12 or higher-education students. Furthermore, the influx of gadgets and media into students' lives consistently bombard the focus and engagement of students toward subject material. If this project is successful, the team hopes that the Lewis Dots app will enhance the learning of chemistry amongst students by offering a new platform for communication. With the education technology market experiencing a glut of existing solutions for independent study and assessment/testing, this project may prove to be a disruptive innovation in the education technology market, allowing students to better learn from teachers and from each other.

该项目旨在进一步开发Lewis Dots iOS应用程序，从而扩展其功能。在课堂上需要改善共享和协作工具的教育需求，团队正在努力开发一个原型，以测试其应用程序的其他功能，以利用协作学习，即时元数据反馈和游戏化学习。 Lewis Dots发明为用户提供了触摸屏化学体验。该技术计划的未来开发计划使能够传达化学概念的更具视觉工具，使教师能够与学生交流，还可以与老师互相交流。从教师和学生的角度来看，项目团队的方法将课堂学习视为用户体验。在K-12或高等教育学生之间传达化学反应的无处不在互动方法。此外，小工具和媒体进入学生生活的涌入始终轰炸学生对学科材料的关注和参与。如果该项目成功，团队希望Lewis Dots应用程序通过提供新的沟通平台来增强学生之间化学的学习。随着教育技术市场经历了现有的解决方案，用于独立研究和评估/测试，该项目可能被证明是教育技术市场中的颠覆性创新，使学生能够更好地向老师和彼此学习。
