Batchgeocode.com is free service that will bulk geocode tabular data directly in your web browser. Latitude and longitude information is returned for each address. You also have the option of creating a Google Earth KML file that will allow you to plot your addresses in Google Earth. At Lewis Elementary we are working with our city traffic department to add some crosswalks and pedestrian improvements in our neighborhood. I can now share with them specific information about our students and show them the need for these improvements based on where our students live. I plan to play with this a bit more. Am thinking I could do things like plot achievement data based on geography, not to mention helping plan bike and walking school bus routes.
