5 reasons to use Netflix in the classroom

While teachers look to find new ways to make the classroom more interactive, some might look to Netflix, a video-streaming site

Imagine yourself back in a high school classroom and the teacher is getting ready to discuss how the next 40 minutes will play out.

It’s your last class of the day and all you want to do is finish so you can catch the bus home and forget about what you learned.

Now imagine yourself as a high school teacher getting ready to teach a group of students.
