Are you looking for a one-stop solution to find thousands of popular movies without worrying about copyright issues or managing locked DVD players or personal streaming accounts? The award-winning Swank K-12 Streaming platform solves these challenges for schools.
The Swank K-12 streaming platform revolutionizes educational film integration, allowing educators to securely and seamlessly incorporate films into their curriculum. The easy-to-use streaming platform offers a curated selection of films, plus the ability for teachers to request additional titles from the library of over 40,000 films and documentaries. With the platform, schools can eliminate the hassles of DVD players and personal streaming sites, ensuring compliance and streamlining processes school-wide.
While educators can search and request titles of their choice, administrators review those requests before making them available to students. This management model ensures that only age-appropriate and appropriately licensed material reaches its intended audience within a secure, closed-loop environment. The platform offers a unique combination of autonomy for educators with a high level of control and insight for administrators.
“One of the biggest benefits of movies for an elementary and middle school is the content that is offered in the classroom… There are so many titles in the curated collection. I’ve had teachers in our health class, English class, foreign language classes all have access to those titles,” says Christie Sylvester, head librarian at Prospect High School.
More than just movies
In addition to the platform, Swank has received praise for providing free curriculum support to educators, including relevant suggestions for titles, topics, and classroom activities. These resources maximize the potential of the platform, as well as the educational value of the films.
Customers highlight the peace of mind that comes from knowing their school is using the right tool in the right way. The administrator can see how films are used in the curriculum, teachers can request a title and get it into the classroom in less than a day, and technical administrators know they are providing teachers with a verified, reliable, and versatile resource.
“The SWANK K-12 video streaming platform takes the guesswork out of whether or not you need a license to play copyrighted material,” said one of the tech & Learning judges in recognizing it with “Best of Show” award at ISTELive 2024“Not only does this platform give schools access to thousands of Hollywood movies and videos to use in the classroom, but it also has an amazing library system to find the right movie for the content being taught. I especially liked the ability for teachers to assign a URL link for students to watch the movie or sections of the movie at home for homework.”
Swank’s K-12 Streaming platform balances top-down policies with bottom-up accessibility, providing the perfect governance model for responsible adoption of technology that elevates learning experiences.
