Streaming video is a new way to deliver information to your students with the click of a button. Enhancing the educational experience by taking the 'dull' out of the lesson students can watch instant video on whatever topic they are learning about by playing media from a web link.
Streaming video is a sequence of "moving images" that are sent in compressed form over the Internet and displayed by the viewer as they arrive. Streaming media is streaming video with sound. The media is sent in a continuous stream and is played as it arrives. The user needs a player, which is a special program that uncompresses and sends video data to the display and audio data to speakers.
A few great benefits to streaming video are that most players are free and the videos can be seen anywhere there is an Internet connection, there are tons of video and audio collections easily accessible, students can not share the video illegally, and best of all the content is always current and up to date.
One downside is that with all the information out there the problem of determining what is relevant content arises.
This could be a great tool to integrate into lessons because it makes the content more interesting and alive. I think the students would be more apt to getting 'into' the lesson and be able to store information longer.

I agree. It would make it easier for students to store information.
A lot of time if you have a picture or video to go along with things,it easier to remember them.
