This article talked about what video streaming is. It goes into talking about how exactly it works. It explains different types of plugins that work to run a streamed video. The two mentioned in the article are RealPlayer 8 and Quicktime 4.1.2. It then talks about the advantage of using streaming video such as that most of the time the players are free, videos are available to view anytime interne connection is present and also the videos typically require very little in system resources.
I think video streaming is another great technology to use in the classroom. However with my experience in college sometimes internet will just randomly kick off and not work so make sure to plan accordingly just in case.

I do agree with you when you said that teachers may need a back up plan incase the internet connection does not work or something happens with it. I think this post would be much better if you were to go into detail on the different advantages of video streaming and how it exactly works.
I agree! It can be a pain to work with the internet when it comes to school work. Teachers shouldnt completely rely on video streaming for a lesson plan because the internet connections are unpredictable at times.
