Picture This: Video Streaming to Your Classroom
http://www.techlearning.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196605182
Streaming media is the simultaneous transfer of digital media (video, voice and data) so that it is received as a continuous real-time stream. This technology is becoming a very useful tool for teachers to enhance the learning environment in their classrooms. Through streaming video, students are able to access videos to study for exams, review information that they may not fully understand, or watch the video to build on what was presented in class. Video streaming offers a great opportunity to allow both students and teachers access to a variety of quality programming to aid in the learning process. Along with streaming video, comes many advantages. Most players are free to download, which makes it available to virtually anyone. Videos are able to be viewed anywhere there is an Internet connection available, which in this day in age is pretty much everywhere! A wide variety of video and audio are easily accessible, allowing teachers to find almost anything they are looking for to aid in their lesson. Teachers are able to post links to these videos in e-mails or on web pages to make it easy for their students to locate and watch. Most importantly, streaming video is always current and up-to-date so teachers don't have to worry about teaching old, out-of-date material. Using streaming video in the classroom is a great idea in my opinion. I think it can make a lesson so much more fun and interesting. It is a good way to keep students attention and maybe to break up a boring lecture.

I agree. I think steaming videos are a great way for students and teachers to access numerous videos and such related to the topic being learned. I think they take the "boring" out of learning and helps students stay focused.

I agree with you about the fact that most video players are free. With all the budget cuts that education has been experiencing lately, this is a major plus. Also, streaming media is definitely an exciting way to learn and to bring text book topics to life. Great post.

I agree that streaming video is a good way to spice up class time. I believe it might help students become more interested in the topic if they watch videos or listen to audios instead of just reading out of the textbook all of the time. By using this technique, teachers might even improve some of the students' grades.
I also agree. Steaming video are another great way for students to get more involved in class.
