Watch how to use MediaShare on PalmBreezeCAFE (10 min.):
Using MediaShare, you can search for content that has been uploaded by other teachers in our district and nationwide. You can also share your content (and we really hope you will).
Just a few items to note about MediaShare:
- Your login is the same as DE Streaming. Once you are logged in, just click on the tab at the top labeled "MediaShare."
- When you search for content, your results will be content created by our district's teachers and the DEN (Discovery Educator Network of teachers nationwide). You can limit your search results to only those within our district by clicking on FL_PALM BEACH CO SCH... under "By Group" on the left hand side.
- To upload your content, just click on the upload arrow on the right hand side.
- You can upload items you've created such as:
- Word documents (lesson plans, seating charts, quizzes, etc.), spreadsheets, sound files, videos, graphic organizers, etc.)
- Excel spreadsheets
- Photos, scanned images and clipart
- PowerPoints
- Links to favorite websites
IF THERE IS A FILE TYPE YOU WANT TO UPLOAD BUT MEDIASHARE DOESN'T SEEM TO ACCEPT IT, Contact the Department of Educational Technology at PX 4-8499
- When uploading, there are only TWO steps. The 1st page is for filling out the information about your item(s) and the 2nd page is to add your file(s). Please be detailed in your description about what your content is and how it has been and can be used. Also: add your name to the description (example: "Created by Ann Smith").
- Check the resources you have uploaded by clicking on My Resources (gray bar, top right). If there is anything missing or you want to add or change, just click on edit (on the right).

- Where can I save my videos?
- The best place to save your downloaded videos is to a flashdrive. These are quite inexpensive now. There is no need to save your videos beyond implementation of your lessons. Take advantage of the MY CONTENT feature in DE Streaming.
- You can also save your videos to your desktop, temporarily. Just remember, anything saved to your desktop is not backed up.
- DO NOT save videos to yourschool's MY DOCUMENTS folder.
- I already downloaded the video, but it won't play!
- Check with your School Tech who may need to update your media player or call the IT Service Desk. Still having trouble? Your tech should contact the IT Service desk.
- How can I share the videos/images/articles/speeches, etc. with my students?
- Your students can log on. Once logged on, they can go directly to a link that you provide for them in Edline. Be sure to explain in your directions that they must log on first.
- You can create assignments in DE Streaming's Teacher Center. Log in
FIRST then click this link for a brief tutorial.
