United Streaming
There are three common ways that you can use downloaded video segments:
Standalone files: Just double-click on the file icons to open the preferred media player to play the segments.
Hyperlinks: Link words and pictures to video resources that you wish to add to your lessons in Word or PowerPoint.
Embedded Video: Insert video segments directly into documents and slides and view the segments without using a media player.
Save video by clicking on the “Download” button, or add the file to your “My Content” libraries.
“My Content” is a new and versatile space that you can use to organize personal Playlists, assignments, quizzes, and writing prompts as well as share resources with colleagues.
Video segments can be downloaded for use with presentations, classroom projects, and student activities. Click the “Select to Add” boxes if you wish to include the segments in assignments, quizzes, or Playlists in your “My Content” materials.
