Batchgeo project

View Instructional Technology students locations in a full screen map



     Above is my (as well as the rest of the class') Batchgeo map. Feel free to scroll around it to see where we all live!


     This makes me a 21st century educator because of what the teacher said. We have the ability to create this sort of thing for free and with such ease, that people in the 90s never imagined this sort of thing. With this sort of program, we can easily visualize where all students are in the world without pulling out a paper map and writing it down.
     One way I can incorporate this is by using the internet to figure out famous composers' birthplaces. I would then simply input them into the program and show this to the class as a reference as to what type of music we are talking about (German Romantic vs. French Baroque vs, Italian Opera vs American Patriotic music, etc.) 
     I think this project follows standard 1c. because it can be used as a review assignment, or visual for students to use when comparing different cultural music.
