For the second map in today's lab, the entire class collaborated on a big map locating all of the registered sex offenders (per Megan's Law) in the Lehigh Valley. The whole collaboration/crowd sourcing thing is really cool, but I think we all would have preferred to map something else out rather than a list of creeps who live a few doors down from us.
As Jeremy noted, we put together a map of all the sex offenders in the Lehigh Valley in something like 15 minutes. Crowd sourcing is a pretty powerful thing. What other kinds of possibilities can you guys see for using something like this?
