“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
Stoughton Area School District
“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
“Swank’s Educational Streaming is probably one of the best services you can get for high schools. I looked at many options and couldn’t find one that came close to the quality of movies and content.”
Courtney Schraut
St. Louis University High School
“The ability to have multiple teachers using the same film at the same time and share it with absent students is a true benefit.”
Deborah Will
Zion Benton Township HS
“I’ve had a lot of teachers swoon with excitement about bookmarks. They set the start and end point, add directions, and send it to the kids. It’s been a game changer for our teachers.”
Len Bryan
Cherry Creek Schools
“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
“It allows us to better monitor how often and what movies are being shown in classrooms. Teachers are able to explain their reasoning as to how the movie relates to their content and why it is being shown.”
Amy Dyer
Sealy ISD
“Swank allows students to be exposed to educational movies that they otherwise might not have had access to or viewed on their own.”
