Today we created a map with all of our classmates locations.
Here is a link also to give a bigger view.

and the map can be viewed below.



The learning outcomes were to "create, store, and share a web-based map through a variety of ways including embedding in a blog post and hyperlinks." We entered a map of information into the site  http://www.batchgeo.com/.  It is a neat tool to create your own personal map. 

This can be tied teaching standard 3D.
-model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning-

Students can use this tool mainly in a history or geography class that works with maps.  They can create a legend and show the variety of distances people have from each other.  This is a digital tool that students have access to and this can help them learn more about mapping.

This assignment also works with the 21st Century ICT Skills. 
      "Use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and communicate information
Use digital technologies (computers, PDAs, media players, GPS, etc.), communication/networking tools and social networks appropriately to, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, share, and create information to successfully function in a knowledge economy."

I used Google Documents to access a shared document created by our instructor.  I put in my information and then copied Everyone's information to the website BatchGeo. (which is linked above).
