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. http://www.laurelsprings.com/videocontest/index.asp 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.
