Streaming Video

Studies have shown for decades that all children learn differently. For example, some children learn better with hands-on activities while others can simply read a book and retain the same amount of comprehension of a particular topic. Streaming video is yet another resource which allows students to attempt to learn more by using their resources. In short, a streaming video allows video, voice and data to be shared on one continuous stream via the internet. The article I read was based on schools in Rhode Island which utilize streaming video and incorporated it into their curriculum. In this state there is a "Rhode Island PBS Video-Streaming subscription service" which organizes videos, voice and data into categories based on topics that would be covered in classrooms.
As previously stated, this would benefit many students because it allows them yet another resource for learning. Some students might be able to achieve complete comprehension of a topic after viewing a streaming video via the internet.
I believe this resource would greatly benefit students and allow for further learning. It would also allow students to see many topics being studied in action instead of just reading about them. It would be a great substitute for hands on when hands on is not an option. I would like to see further research done to show how much more streaming video helps students learn. Also, would students be more apt to learn from streaming video because they are used to watching videos at home on websites such as YouTube?
