Google Map

Using a shared Google Docs spreadsheet, the people in my class entered their addresses. I copied and pasted them into Batchgeo and this is the map it generated:


This follows the following NETS Standards:
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessmentsa.design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.
This could be useful in connecting locations for students and helping them to see where certain historical events have taken place in West Virginia.
If I had had this in my AP English class in high school when we needed to make a map of all the places the writer had been, it would have made my life much easier.
