merits and demerits of streaming in education?

Not sure where you`re from, but in Australia it goes by both streaming and main streaming (though not as commonly used).\n\nMerits:\n\nIt groups like ability students who can be given instruction directed at their ability.\nProvides a non threatening environment, as students are completing like work / like ability.\nProvides opportunities for success.\n\nDemerits:\n\nCan limit students experiences and interactions.\n\nAll being said, if you`re an above average student it suits you (as you are given more complex materials and tasks) though if you`re a lower than average student it reduces your ability to model based on interactions with stronger (more successful) students (thereby learning their approaches) and more complex material.\n\nThis is my opinion and in teaching, there is always disagreement.\n\nPersonally, I believe in mixing groups - ability and mixed for activities within reading, writing and maths (guided for ability and open ended/or student selected tasks for mixed ability so to enable students to learn modeling and more capable students to provide peer support).

There is a provision of Copyright Laws that allows use of copyrighted material for education purposes.  This is part of Fair Use.\n\n\n"Educational institutions and governmental agencies are also authorized by a separate copyright statute to publicly display and perform others' works in the course of face-to-face teaching activities, and to a lesser degree, in digital distance education. These rights are described in Sections 110 (1) and (2), respectively, of the Copyright Act. More information about the recent expansion of Section 110(2)'s rights for digital distance education may be found in The TEACH Act."

There are a number of streaming technology providers out there.  Some cache information close to you using fringe technology delivery and some create compressed file formats that send well over smaller bandwidth pipes.  \n\nYour asking a question that could take a very lengthy answer.  I would do some research and read up on the general technology here:\n\nhttp://www.streamingmedia.com/tutorials/category.asp?whichcategory=production\nhttp://www.powerstream.net/learn/sm101.asp\nhttp://www.imd.macewan.ca/imd/content.php?contentid=38

It is now as necessary as a pen or pencil.  The elementary school in my area not only have Smart boards, projectors, and Dell pcs in each classroom but also shared laptops between classrooms.  The problem is that they are not well maintained, locked down(software/antivirus/filtered) as much as they can be.  The other problem is that the 5th graders know more than the teachers as to how these freakin things work.  A couple of teachers couldn't even use the Smart board and used the black board the whole year!!\n\nThis is jus a tool NOT the answer for all the ills in the classroom.  Teachers and parents must be proactively involved in the child's education to make these become helpful tools.  School boards and teachers must provide the proper curriculum, teachers must be trained, and students must be guided properly to make it worth placing in classes.

Yes! I looked it up on Yahoo and there are a ton of articles.  It's when a program doesn't provide the education they promised.

Not really.  Most times, the only person with a computer is going to be the teacher, at least up through high school.  In college, sure, but the excuse is that the students are theoretically taking notes on their laptop instead of chatting/surfing the Internet.

I use a program called Total Recorder to record Internet streaming. It's an excellent program.

Most academians think learning must be the basic stuff like English, math, science, and the added stuff like computers and business. There just isn't enough time in the day, or so they say. So as a result they eliminate what THEY feel they don't need to teach. PE is good for a lot more than staying in shape. The body needs activity just as much as the mind. Funding has eliminated some of these classes as well. Music, sports, art are being hit by budget cuts. Takes less money to order a book and use it over and over than to have equipment and supplies.  By the way, according to the article I read, it is a nationwide problem getting schools to have PE, and it starts even in elementary school.

technology has great influece on the education system.\nchildren has access to knowledge...easier and faster... but this make students lazier...as in the case of plagiarism... it is undeniable that technology had make communication easier but it do increase the number of crime or more commonly known as cybercrime.....involving students and children\nbut i personally think that if technology is used in a good way....that is searching information, enchance communication...... in education then....it is good....

I don't think any of it should be banned.  I think the advantage would lie in teaching everything, so that education isn't subject to some kind of cultural censorship.

I use to teach EMT, CPR, Fire Fighter classes. I keep all my forums and work for the classes on the web (password protected) so I could acess them from the field. It is very nice have a network hard drive anywhere you go. I was paying $4.95&#92;mo for 512Mbs of storage.
