Dueling Edu Web Apps
I’m not sure what’s gotten into the geocommunity of late, but education maps are popping up all over. While all of them didn’t start out as demos, some are indeed demos of new technology.
First off, there was Google’s College Finder demo for its new spatial search API in the Google Map Data API. (via Google Geo Dev blog)
Then, there is GeoTech’s ESRI ArcGIS Server Community College Geospatial Program app built on the Sample Flex viewer (c 2008). (via @gletham, via ESRI Edu Blog)
Finally, the LA TImes updated its California Schools Guide to include spatial search using GeoDjango. The app finds public, private and parochial schools within 2 or 4 miles of an address. (via @latimes)
