It is a lot more interesting to pay attention on a kind of medium if it is presented in creative way with audio-video quality. That’s the kind of media that always grabs out attention, on certain products or service offers online. That is the kind of media that makes us interested and ready to listen. Therefore, this streaming media should be used in the classroom more often.
Streaming media has worked enough in the past, that it has become part of our daily lives. Streaming media is the term for enabling the real-time distribution of digital media (audio, video and data) over a network such as the internet.
Also, the article described how is streaming video distributed. A server transmits the streaming media data, presenting it in real-time to a client application running n a PC or other electronic device such as a cellular phone or PDA. As soon as enough data has been transmitted and stored in the client’s buffer, the streaming media allows the devices to begin playback of the multimedia.
By using a live streaming media server, almost any multimedia content can be streamed, including audio and video assets obtained from nearly any source. Therefore, it is a great tool to use in the classroom, for students can really benefit from it. Teachers can use videos as sources, and instead of having guest speakers physically there, it can be easier to have a video conference with them. It can be very costly to get a get speaker to show up from a far away place, but streaming media can be the solution.
If used effectively, streaming video can have many advantages to both teachers and students. Streaming video delivery is reliable and fast. From new parents wanting to share their child’s birthday party with long distance relatives to corporations holding meetings online, everyone can benefit from streaming media.
I would like to do more research and find out more about how to use streaming media, and integrate it with daily lessons. I know a great way is to have children watch videos that relate to the lesson, but I would like to search for better ways to use streaming videos and media effectively in the classroom.

I agree that streaming video can be a great tool for teachers to use in their classrooms. I love the idea of using it to show speakers that may not be able to come or that the school couldn't afford to get. There seems to be a lot of ways for teachers to integrate streaming video into their lessons, and since it is so easy to access then it's really convenient. There does need to be some further research done but I still think that teachers should try to use it as much as possible.
I thought it was interesting how you made the point that guest speakers might be different in the future. It is possible that streaming live could become more practical than having somebody come and talk to a class.
I also agree that it is easier to pay attention to a medium such as video.
Good post.
