Education is ever changing by the advances in education, with each new day we are able to incorporate technology into our lessons. Technology helps grasp the attention of our students and improve their learning expereince. As educators we need to be prepared for daily changes in the world of technology and be prepared to adapt to those changes.
This activity is great in aiding 21st Century Skills as an educator. This cool activity could be used in classrooms ranging from the elementary schools up to the high schools. It would be a great activity for geography classes or sciences classes wishes to represent a map with locations. In a classroom setting you could use the student's addresses, addresses of differnt businesses, or addresses of various important locations. This is a great tool to use in many different lessons and classes. It applies to the different modalities of learning and aids the students who are visual learners!
Below you will see the map I created using the information provided by my classmates in the shared google document.

ISTE-NETS-T STANDARDS
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
This standard is met by the use of technology and content togehter to create an image. The students are actulay inputing the information and then creating a map or an image of a map from their inputs. This allows the student to create a digital image and could be used as an assesment in a geography or science class when studying locations.
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
The student are producing the map, so they are creating a digital image that is presentable to be modeled. The teacher could demonstrate this concept before hand to meet this standard as well.
4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
I decided to put this standard down because you are creating a map based on locations, so you could discuss issues such as citizenship.
