Hi Michelle,

I set up a school Netflix account like Casey did, but it is not ideal. What we all really need is for Amazon to step up. A school Amazon account, where we could accumulate a library of streaming movies for our schools, would be ideal. I don't see a way to do this currently. Because Amazon is more than just a video provider, it would only be a matter of time before a teacher accidentally ordered new socks because he or she was still logged into the school Amazon account. Amazon would have to create a special login where purchased videos could be watched, but new purchases could only be made by an administrator on the account. I don't believe this is possible at this time.

This may be a dumb series of questions, but I haven't looked into this for a while.

What (if anything) do you offer as a copyright-friendly video streaming service for commercial feature films (i.e. Gangs of New York, Last of the Mohicans, Glory, etc.) ?

How many of you block access to online streaming services such as Netflix, HBOGO, Hulu, and ShowtimeAny on campus?

Is hard copy DVD still the only legitimate solution?

What kinds of conversations are emerging around this in your districts?

Thanks!
