Batchgeo

     This was the first time I had ever heard of this site, but I must admit that what it does is pretty awesome.  Using this site makes me a 21st century educator first and foremost because it introduces students to technology.  A technology that is not commonly heard of. 
     This site allows teachers to show their students where they are in relation to other places in the state, United States, or even the World.  This site will be beneficial in helping students learn locations of states, landmarks, etc.  When doing online teaching such as this class it allows you to see where all of your classmates are from. 

View Instructional Technology in a full screen map

  This map allowed me to compare my location to the location of my classmates.  Had I not created this map I never would have known that I even had classmates from other states.  Especially ones so far from where I am.  This site will be a great tool to incorporate into my teaching.
