Video Content into the
Curriculum
Using United Streaming
Exploring all the Features
of United Streaming
Understanding the
Delivery Process of Video:
Video is delivered via the Internet
path which means that it a "BandWidth"
hog and can affect the Interent speed performance in our
District.
Therefore it is important to
understand the deliver methods for video content using United
Streaming. It is important to understand the methods and use
the one that will deliver the best performance for your students and
your teaching.
METHOD #1: Downloading to
school site video server for using during school
At each site there is a video
server that is designed to download after hours, store and
share downloaded video. This is often referred to as
the network manager for US. Please review the handout or
video clip so you are able to use this method. Handout

Clip
It is highly discouraged to
download to your computer, you will fill up your harddrive or
local file server and affect the performance of those tools.
The downside of this method is
that you cannot access the files outside of the school therefore
if you want to continue, expand or enhance the learning using
United Streaming you must use Method #2
METHOD #2: Using the
"Assignment Builder" and linking
Using this method allows the
video content to stay on the United Streaming site but creates a
link that you can use with your student. Click here to see a
sample: Assignment
(see below) The second method is easy to use because you copy the
URL and past that into your Learningpoint site or Powerpoint.
Students will be prompted to
enter their first and last name. That is the only issue.
This method is recommended for
accessing content "OUTSIDE" our district because it will
not affect our bandwidth or Internet Speed.
