Business and Pleasure

This app won’t cost you anything but the service will.  If you sign up for their lowest cost plan, it will set you back $9.99 per month which allows you to watch one DVD at a time BUT it comes with unlimited "Watch Instantly" features.  That means that with good wi-fi you can stream movies right in your classroom.

The Netflix iPad app will display the movies to your projection screen in the classroom either via the VGA output (you need a dock-to-VGA adapter and a VGA cable) or using Composite Audio Video cable.  Look for interesting PBS/Frontline shows, National Geographic episodes, perhaps TV shows, documentaries, or even movies if you can fit them into your teaching objectives.

And, if you really want to see "Groundhog Day" again, you can chose to receive a DVD in the mail.
