[CASL-L] video streaming at school

[Kenneth Dunaj]

Hi Jen,

We moved to a movie database this year from SWANK k12 Streaming
<https://www.swank.com/k-12-streaming/> . It was mentioned in SLJ last year
and our HS teachers are beginning to discover it.  Their price plans are
evolving but it has been a good solution to the DVD and illegal streaming
problem for teachers and students.

Best,

Ken
