I have written a tutorial on how to sign up for United Streaming.

You need a passcode to sign up. You can contact me or your childs sixth-grade teacher for the passcode.

Today (in my Homeroom class) we used United Streaming Video to research for our Science and Social Studies projects.

Some of the students were asking about inserting video from United Streaming into Power Point presentations. We will all be learning about this during our next computer lab time. If students would like to find out before then, there is a tutorial below.

Most students have set up a United Streaming Account. Through this account they can log-in to United Streaming to watch & download videos. If your student has not yet set up an account and would like to, they need a pass-code from me or one of the other 6th grade teachers. Please email me for this information and instructions on setting up the account.  jwilliams {at} gesd40. org
