Discovery Education MediaShare

Participants in this course will develop expertise in using MediaShare to manage their own resources and find valuable resources developed by other educators. Beginning with search options for topic-related or grade-specific content, participants quickly learn what is available for download from MediaShare. Since MediaShare provides an opportunity to exchange resources, this course also teaches participants how to upload their own resources and select from a variety of audience options. Finally, the course reviews basic Discovery Education features like My Content, My Builder Tools, and My Classroom.
