Streaming Technology Improves Student
Achievement
Schools across the nation are putting computers in classrooms and
expanding Internet connections. Teachers are
working to effectively integrate technology
in teaching and learning environments. An example
of putting the power of technology to work is on-demand video streaming and
its potential as an instructional tool for a
variety of learning experiences. As published in T.H.E. Journal,
a research firm completed a first-of-its-kind study that
incorporates standards-based video clips into
lessons developed by classroom teachers with very positive results.
