Swank Motion Pictures is a streaming and licensing platform designed specifically for K-12 schools. It gives educators access to a massive library of major Hollywood films, documentaries, and independent movies that are fully cleared for classroom use. Essentially, it replaces the need for old DVDs or trying to bypass school firewalls to use personal streaming accounts like Netflix or Disney+.
Legally Safe Streaming: It handles all the copyright licensing, so you can show feature films during class without worrying about legal compliance.
Easy LMS Integration: You can post direct film links straight into Google Classroom, Canvas, or Schoology. This makes it easy for students to watch assigned clips or full movies from home.
Custom Video Clips: Instead of wasting class time fast-forwarding to the right scene, you can use the built-in bookmark tool to clip out and save the exact segments you need for a lesson.
Lesson Planning Tools: The platform includes features that help you quickly generate discussion questions and align movies with your specific curriculum standards.
On-Demand Content: You can browse pre-curated collections by grade level or request to add specific titles to your school's library whenever your lesson plans change.
