Check out Ron Clark Academy's "We Can Vote However We Like" video on Youtube. In less than a week, it has garnered half a million visits on YouTube and received interviews on CNN.
the Sherpa! team had the fortune of working on the original (and current) Ron Clark Academy website. It may be 5 years old, and personally one of my last attempts at Flash animation website development, but the website is still holding up! In fact, just two years ago it won a silver medal in the non-profits category from the Horizon Interactive Awards. Ron Clark still uses it as an integral part of improving awareness of his charter school, The Ron Clark Academy.
This isn't the first time Ron Clark has appeared in the news. From being Disney's Teacher of the Year (70,000 entrants) to being Oprah's first Phenomenal Man to two New York Times Best Sellers, Ron Clark's story is indeed an amazing one. You can learn more about it by watching the aptly titled TNT Special "The Ron Clark Story" with Matthew Perry playing Ron Clark or reading the Ron Clark Wikipedia article.
