What is Streaming Video?

• It is the process of viewing video on the
  Internet.

  same time, but leaves behind no files on the
  viewers computer.
• You can also download videos or video clips, save
  them, and use them later.

• And
• because its digital, you can place clips in
  multimedia presentations or Websites.
• And
• because every student can have an ID, individual
  students can do the same thing.
• And
• because its on the Internet, you can do this at
  school or at home.
