| How do I get access to the DE streaming
website? |
| Media
Specialists have been given admin rights to create
user id's and passwords for their staff to access
the site. If a Media Specialist needs support
they can contact the Help Desk. |
| Can my students have a DE Streaming
account? |
| If
you would like students to access videos, you
can create online quizzes. The quiz builder and
assignment builder features are located in the
teacher center. These tools allow teachers to
create online instructional materials for student
use. |
| I have forgotten my DE Streaming
password? |
| See
your schools Media Specialist, User Support Specialist
or call the Help Desk (301-517-5800) |
| What is the best way to access
and play videos at school? |
| You
can stream videos during planning time to preview
them. If you want to show the video to your students,
click on the download later icon. The video will
be downloaded to your local school server overnight.
The next day, you will still log into DE Streaming,
but the video will play from the local school
server, which is accessible from the Network Manger
tab in My Content. |
| Can I use the download later feature
at home? |
| Yes, you can now use the download later
icon at home and access the video the next day
from your local school server. |
| I want to burn videos to a CD or
use them in a powerpoint. How do I save them from
the DE streaming website? |
| Teachers
can use the download icon to save videos to My
Documents, flash drive or CD. You can download
anytime. All download restrictions have been removed.
To download a video, right click on the download
icon and choose "Save Target As" and
save the video into a folder in My Documents,
flash drive or navigate to the CD drive. When
saving the file we suggest you shorten the file
name and keep the file extension in order to speed
up the download process. Please note video files
are large and take up a lot of space. You may
need to burn them onto a CD and delete them from
My Documents quite often to avoid running out
of space. |
| How do I know what has been downloaded/stored
on the DE Streaming server at my school? |
| The
local school server, can be accessed by logging
in to DE Streaming and clicking on the Network
Manger tab in My Content. There you will see a
list of all videos that have been downloaded to
your school server. |
| I think my school's DE Streaming
server is down. Who should I call |
| Contact
your school User Support Specialist (USS) first.
If your USS is unable to resolve the problem they
should contact the Help Desk (301-517-5800). |
| I have transferred to another school.
Since the move I can download videos but they
are not appearing on my school's DE Streaming
server. What is causing this? |
| When
you transferred your account was not shuffled;
you will need to shuffle your account. Ask your
media specialist for your school’s DE Streaming
passcode. At the login screen, type the passcode
in the New User box. Then click the Go button.
Type in your DE Streaming username and password
and click the Login button. Your account has now
been shuffled to your new location. If you have
trouble shuffling your account, contact the Help
Desk (301-517-5800). |
