“Having streaming access makes learning so much easier for our students. Students watch assigned movies any time, any place, and teachers no longer juggle schedules to avoid needing the same DVD.”
Cathy Gargano

“We no longer have to worry about teachers trying to stream from sites that are not allowed by our district. Teachers can easily show movies in the classroom or assign them to students.”
Heidi McCurdy
Edward Little High School
“Teachers in our health, English, and foreign language classes are accessing all of the titles.”
Christie Sylvester
Prospect High School
“The catalog has been a great resource for classes such as History in Film. Teachers are able to assign a portion of a movie when students miss work; it is so easy to clip a film and add it to Google Classroom.”
Tonya O’Boyle
Cameron High School
“Swank has greatly improved teachers’ use of movies with their instruction! Teachers pair videos with books, history lessons, science lessons, and often in film classes. Without Swank, our jobs would be so much more difficult.”
Christine Szeluga
Cranford Board of Education
“As a school that serves students experiencing poverty, allowing students to view the film independently on their school-provided device at no charge helps us create a more equitable learning opportunity.”
