A mega-map of schools
The other day I came across a great spreadsheet which included geo-location information for more than 4000 Eastern Cape schools.
I thought it would be fun to see if I could map these schools and include details about pupil/teacher rations and so on. It could be a useful resouce.
Well it took me quite some time but I managed to do it using Map-A-List - brilliant site which generates maps from spreadsheets of addresses. Once your data is in shape it's a piece of cake to use.
It will link directly to a Google Docs spreadsheet. I uploaded the file to my Google Docs account and then used Map-A-List to generate the map you can see below. You need to really zoom in too make sense of the wave of schools. Clicking on the icon will give you some more info about a school.
