Mapping information using google map engine lite

I have been working on a number of projects over the holidays, and I found an interesting one on #n4lpond.

A user had submitted the following item,

Google Maps Engine Lite

mapsengine.google.com/map

Maps Engine makes it easy to create and share maps online.

Now using the website, I grabbed the list of schools chosen for the POND Pioneer Schools
and put them into a google sheet document. You need to have labels at the top of the data set.
