[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: video streaming at school

[Mrs. Rocca]

Thank you all for your feedback. I have looked into a lot of these services before. I actually was trying to ask about Movies Anywhere specifically but it sounds like you’ve all found other solutions that work better for you. 

Thanks for the feedback
