I have viewed & created things via Google Maps before for our family's farm use. However, I have not used Google Earth maps to alter other maps before. My husband is more familiar with it than I am.
After going into the document that Dr. Pierce sent titled "poop," I went into the document and added my address to the list. All of my other classmates did the same. We were to copy and paste the newly added addresses to Geobatch.com in order to create our very own map. Next, we were also to embed the map here on our blog. I have not yet done this because of some complications, hoping to work the kinks out today.

ISTE T: 2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
Why?: I chose this standard because this is an inventive way to design & develop maps that students can read, utilize, and assess for all kinds of different assignments. The maps can be personalized or creatively invented for attention holders. Even games can be played from these maps, such as scavenger hunts!
Nice detail. You omitted the part about renaming files in Google docs.
