From the mediaworks website there's Gillespie Schoo; in La Jolla, CA
  http://www.mediaworkssoftware.com/featuredusers/featureduserJM.html
If you look around the site you'll also find a Texas school district
and a contest based on the prior year's class project.
  From my UG I know of Kranky Kids in the San Ramon, CA area
http://krankykids.com/catalogs/history.html

  Hope this helps,

Markus,

Nice!  I am in the middle of deep discussions with people in my area about
schooling and will share this link.
We are researching how to start a charter school, co-op school, home
schooling, co-schooling, partial schooling and unschooling ;)

Regarding video in school I am ok with creating video but against
watching videos in most cases.
I am into experiential education.

 I recently helped out with a YouTube-based, video contest held by a locally
 based, distance
 learning school for K-12. Their students are all over the world and they
 asked them to make
 videos explaining why home schooling is cool. Three age categories. I
 viewed every one of
 the 60+ entries and learned a lot about how students completed their
 projects and in some
 cases, collaborated.

 An interesting side note: since the contest, I have seen one of the winners
 videos remade as
 a commercial on television. The TV version is very polished, but virtually
 word for word the
 original. I've been meaning to inquire if that student was involved in
 that, or just ripped off
 by some ad maker.
