Video Streaming Services
Swank K-12 Streaming is convenient, controlled, and a connected streaming platform that makes it easy for teachers to incorporate high-quality films into lesson plans and for students to access them. The library includes films for educational support, including the top feature films: classics, comedy, drama, documentaries and foreign titles.
** Students: When a teacher assigns a movie for you to watch using Swank, please use the link that the teacher shares to the class.
Teachers: You are able to access ALL of Swank's content, while students can only view assigned movies. To assign a movie, go to Swank and click on School Account, then search for the movie you want, click on Share, then Copy Direct Link, then paste the link into an email to your class or onto your Canvas page. If there's a Request button, click on that and fill out the form. The movie should be available within three or four days. Questions? Email Susan Clark, Librarian, at sclark@punahou.edu.
