How+to+Use+Media+Master


 * What is it and why do I have to know how to use it? **


 * The __Media Master (MM)__ system allows you to schedule and control centralized video sources __from your classroom.__
 * All Johnston County Schools VHS tapes and DVDs are in the process of being placed on a main server.
 * MM will also be used to access Discovery Channel (United Streaming) videos.
 * In addition, you can access WRAL news, PBS, and Channel One.
 * NJMS is one of the first schools in the county to have the system and soon our current system (playing movies for multiple classrooms at the same time from the media center) will be removed from our school.
 * Individual TVs on carts will also eventually be removed.
 * Most of our TVs are outdated and do not connect to DVD players.

· Go to the JCS homepage. · Click on District and Staff · Click on Media Master Link. · Click on School Name.
