Helpouts - A tool to personalize learning?

I ran across this video about Google Helpouts:


It got me thinking about our push into personalized learning in my district. Helpouts are not just an interesting way to learn - they are an interesting way to teach. I wonder how we might leverage students teaching other students, not just as tutors about academic content, but about sports, music, gaming, life skills - anything that they have a passion for. Sharing one's passion with others is a powerful way for students to show their expertise, and even leadership.

So, how might we use this tool, or one similar to it, to support our students in their quest for personalized learning?
