Batchgeo Map


View Education 6305 Map in a full screen map



I had fun creating this map! I was thinking this type of map could be used in history classes when talking about locations of places, however in my classroom as an architecture professor it could be used to pin point certain architectural phenomenon and historical sites whether it is by a certain architect or even an era. Using technology like this will set the next generation apart from the current generation. We are constantly learning and new technology is the way the world is going. Before maps and push pins were used, but now with everyone using the computer this tool will replace a map or atlas much like a GPSs has pretty much replaced road maps.This feature would be part of Standard 3: Function 3A because it is a way that a teacher can use a new technology in the classroom and create a learning experience that is unique. This tool can be used with several different address so that all of the students can be involved whether it is the students home address or addresses of business in relation to the community. Teachers develops an instructional activity around Standard 2: Function 2A.
