Streaming+Media

Wikipedia :are multimedia that are constantly received by, and normally presented to, an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider (the term "presented" is used in this article in a general sense that includes audio or video playback). The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself

Streaming provides students with the ability to control the material at their own leasure. (slide presentation, videos) Allowing students to view the material on their own allows the teacher the ability to focus more on class time since the student can view the material outside of the classroom. If anything, the teacher could use the class time to clarify anything the students have viewed on their own. Streaming helps put learning in the hands of the student.
 * Streaming Media in the Classroom**

They can: independently work on the material Have access to it when they would like

This method of streaming allows the teacher to post the material as such-

before the lecture to prepare students for classroom discussion and practice after the lecture as a review of topics covered in class, in place of lecture for those who missed class

The following tips for success and examples of uses of media come from the Department of Academic Technology Solutions at the University of Wisconsin:" and included is a link to the page. []

__When to use__ as a substitute for motion video if movement is not critical to your instructional message __Example uses__ record narration to accompany PowerPoint slides illustrated storytelling when pictorial content such as photos or diagrams accentuates spoken words __Tips__ Easier and less costly to produce than video Streams at lower bandwidths than video
 * Narrated Slide Shows**

__When to use__ when your instructional goals require real world representations __Example uses__ filmed performances or documentaries asking student to analyze a situation or diagnose a condition human interactions, where voice and body language important processes over time demonstrations -- such as equipment use, details of procedures panel discussions, guest lectures laboratory experiments share field trips modeling behavior videoconferencing __Tips__ Avoid "talking head" video Keep clips short Consider using animations to explain processes by distilling the topic and steps to basic elements
