I just returned from the Google Teacher Academy where one of the presenters shared how to display API scores by area using Google Maps. She displayed a map with color-coded symbols representing API scores of each school in the area. Having lived in San Jose for five years, I am acutely aware of the distinct geographical borders that divide people by income. Those divisions were reflected perfectly in the API map displayed by the presenter. I later brought up the API map for the Central Coast. Both maps are below. Click on the map for a larger view.
