My Content

• Once you click on My Content in the blue toolbar on the United Streaming Homepage, it will take you to a page with three different tabs.
• The first tab is My Content. This folder holds lessons or topics you have saved yourself. Also, anytime you watch a video and like it, you can send it to this or any of the other folders.
• The second tab is School Content. This folder lets you view anything anyone in your school has found especially helpful and thinks it would benefit other teachers. You can also save your information into this folder to share with everyone in your school.
• The third tab is District Content. This folder is similar to School Content, but it actually allows you to view topics other teachers in not only your school, but also your district have found beneficial.

Student Center

The Student Center is for your students to go when they need to do an assignment that the teacher has made from Assignment Builder or a quiz made from Quiz Builder. There is a summary section when you create assignments or quizzes. The summary provides assignment information you will share with your students. When you provide the Assignment Code, students will need to go to: http://www.unitedstreaming.com/studentcenter and enter the assignment code and their first and last name in the fields provided. When you provide the Student Center Link, students are taken directly to United Streaming’s Student Center. The Assignment Code will be pre-populated and students simply enter their first and last name in the field provided. This is what the Student Center page looks like:
