Video Streaming refers to the process of viewing
video over the Internet. A “streamed file is simultaneously downloaded and
viewed, but leaves behind no physical file on the viewer’s machine.”
…usually means availability of the video on demand, but it can mean a video
broadcast in real time as an event unfolds (a.k.a. “web-casting” or
“multi-casting”) …users (with permission) can also download video clips,
save them and include them in multimedia presentations or web sites. |

|
Teachers
and students can access the video clips whenever and wherever they want. |

This is cool but it takes forever on my computer
and it cuts off in the middle and…fixing the problems. |

Let 4th/5th graders stream
the videos directly. |
|
|
|
|
Primary students can access videos downloaded on
the Network. A shortcut was placed in their grade folders on the Network so
they could access them. |
|
|
|
|
Videos were downloaded to CD’s using a CD burner
and teachers could check them out to use with students. |

I have a “Eureka” moment when I realize I can
put the links to the videos on web pages. |

Intermediate students work on a portfolio piece
which is an article about an endangered animal. They access the United
Streaming site to locate a video about their animal. |
|
|
|
|
Individual students can work at their own pace,
stopping or restarting a video as needed. They can also use headphones so
it does not disturb other students. |
|
|
|
|
Students read a book, then watch the video in
small reading groups or as individuals. They can compare and contrast the
two mediums. |
|
|
|
|
One teacher had students work on a unit about a
country, then found videos with information about the country, the people
and culture and shared clips with the students. |
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to search. Keyword,
subject, topic, grade. And CURRICULUM STANDARDS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you click on Curriculum Standards, it comes
up with the different curricular areas. You can choose one… |
|
|
|
|
…and it will come up with specific videos which
correlate with those standards. |
|
|
|
|
When you choose a video, you have the option to
stream or download and you can also choose a video clip or the entire
video. |
|
|
|
|
There are also teacher guides for many of the
videos. |
