Being able to easily map historical data to geographical data can help students better understand who different historical events were related to each other, whether that is large scale events like different riots in a city or the addresses of important individuals, or the location of important life events for a single person. BatchGeo is a tool that interfaces with Excel and Google Maps to easily place data on a map. This is a tool that could be used by faculty to create resources for students or an easy to learn tool that students themselves could use.
