What is Video Streaming? Video Streaming is a great educational resource that gives students and teachers access to standard-based video programs instantly - over the Internet. It works by enabling the real time, or on-demand distribution of audio, video and multimedia on the internet. Streaming media is the simultaneous transfer of digital media (video, voice, and data) so that it is received as a continuous real-time stream. It is transmitted by a server application and received and displayed in real time bu client applications such as Microsoft Windows Media Player or the QuickTime Player. These applications can start displaying the video as soon as enough data has been received and stored in the station’s buffer.
Some benefits of using Video Streaming in Education are; being able to find video online for any subject and any grade (such as chemistry, general science, and language arts and reading.) Another use for video streaming in the classroom is to provide samples of lesson plans, teacher activities, guides, and correlations for teachers’ use. The dynamic content of Video Streaming catches students’ attention, helping to keep them focused on the lesson at hand.

It does keep students more focused and attention grabbed. It is also beneficial to students because the material is available to them outside of classroom hours.
So basically it puts the students in charge of their own learning!
