[aisle] Streaming movies legally

[Katie Pausch]

Hi Patti!

We have SWANK streaming here at LFHS. It's fine for some things (decent
feature films) but not for others (not as much in the way of
content-specific films). A few of our teachers are heavy users and others
never use it. The ones who do appreciate the ability to assign films to
students that they can view independently. From everything I've read, none
of the mainstream streaming services authorize school. They can (and will)
freeze your account if they detect that multiple users are trying to log
in. They would be of limited use anyway since they limit the number of
simultaneous viewers on one account.

I had a long talk with Jordan last year about streaming films and future
ideas; feel free to contact me at my lfschools address and I'm happy to
talk details with you! I'm out on mat leave right now, so I might have a
bit of a delayed response.
