Currently there are a number of organizations that are hoping to become the knowledge management vehicle of choice for schools and school districts. One of the most interesting is a company called Teachscape.

They maintain a library of videos that the teachers of member districts can access. I have also heard that there are various message boards and other ways for teachers to interact. In many ways, I believe that the district would like its teachers being able to access high quality videos like this. However, the district is definitely not in the "let a 1000 flowers bloom" stage of reform. The district has taken a very specific pedagogical point of view and expects teachers to adhere to it. Thus, I think the district would be more inclined to have less than full access to videos or to create a parallel sight that only provided examples that are in line with the district's instructional approach.
