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刘易斯点iOS应用程序，扩大其功能。有一个教育需要改进的共享和协作工具在课堂上，该团队正在努力开发一个原型，以测试他们的应用程序的其他功能，利用协作学习，即时元数据反馈，和游戏化学习。刘易斯点发明为用户提供了化学的触摸屏体验。这项技术的未来发展计划使一个更直观的工具，用于交流化学概念，使教师与学生沟通，但也学生与教师和彼此之间的沟通。项目团队的方法从教师和学生的角度将课堂学习视为用户体验。有几个无处不在的互动方法来沟通K-12或高等教育学生之间的化学。此外，小工具和媒体不断涌入学生的生活，不断轰炸学生对主题材料的关注和参与。如果这个项目成功，该团队希望刘易斯点应用程序将通过提供一个新的交流平台来加强学生的化学学习。随着教育技术市场经历了现有的独立学习和评估/测试解决方案的过剩，该项目可能被证明是教育技术市场的颠覆性创新，使学生能够更好地向教师和彼此学习。
