Streaming Video

The website I reviewed on streaming video was very informative. I knew very little about streaming video before this assignment, and this website explained the basics. It explains that streaming video is a technique for transferring data so that it can be processed as a steady stream. It also explains two key technologies that make streaming video possible. Although there was a lot of information given in this website, many of the words were not defined or explained clearly, making it a little difficult to understand.

Although I did not fully grasp the concept of streaming video, I do think using streaming video in the classroom could be very beneficial to the students. It would allow the teacher to open up a whole world to his or her students that cannot be opened by simply sitting in the classroom. There could also be potential problems with using a video that is just found from a source of which you are unsure, as they may not be reliable. Aside from this, I think streaming video would be a benefit to any classroom, if the teacher uses this resource wisely.

Personally, I would need to do more research to understand the topic fully. I would also want to be taught in a seminar or a workshop how to best utilize this tool in my classroom.
