The article is by TechEncyclopedia and explains how streaming video works. It is a one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. Unlike movie files that are played after the entire file has been downloaded and stored, streaming video is played shortly after only a small amount is received. The data are not stored permanently in the destination computer.
Streaming video is a great tool in education. Evidence has shown that video streaming integrated with classes helps to grasp the attention of students. As audio and video combined give a clearer picture than text book examples, this way of teaching clarifies lessons that would otherwise have been quite hard to grasp.
I believe that streaming video, as a new techology can be very succesfully implemented into the traditional curriculum. Video streaming provides examples of real situations and the potential of video streaming is most valuable.
The digital technology is radically transforming daily life, bringing with it immense potential for streaming solutions. Continuing research is useful on how to target trainings, update teacher and employee skills and educate partners or parents.

I think you really grasped the concept of a streaming video. You have good points about how this technology really works in the classroom. Something I would have liked is maybe an example of streaming videos being used in a classroom. Maybe if you or someone you know has seen them used in a classroom.
You really did a great job explaining what streaming video. In the article I found, it said that streaming video can be used to provide students and parents with lesson plans, even from home. Technology really is expanding our reach eyond the classroom!
