What's the best way to retrieve educational data?
JimmyL: I don't think it's listed in one place - I would get a list of school from Wikipedia or the Dept. of Education (they must have a list somewhere), and put it out as a MT task. If you do this, do a search for how to properly use the service, as there seems to be a certain etiquette and way to interact with the Turkers to get best results. One example of the kind of post I mean is http://iamelgringo.blogspot.com/2008/09/mechanical-turk-now-..., but I know there have been a few others posted here.If you don't want to Turk it, you could put it out on craigslist or Kijiji as a freelance contract, but I suspect this would be more trouble than any savings you'd get over MT.
