streaming video

My article is about Wayne State University, located in mid-town Detroit, Michigan. They just updated their program software and re-vamped their technology department to better the students' education by aiding them in classes, writing papers, and researching. WSU updated their internet to wireless to ensure that each student can connect with the internet everywhere on campus. A new piece of technology that they are now incorporating into their education is streaming video, which offers a new way of teaching and bringing a different way of learning to each student. I think that the writer should have dove more into the topic of streaming video. We, as readers, would like to know more about streaming video and its' benefits for students. Further investigation is needed to form an exact opinion about streaming videos.

Podcasting

My research article deals with podcasting and blogs in schools, and how they can benefit teachers. The research developed through grants that were given to the school that would broaden students' way of learning and create a higher level of education. Podcasts and blogging can become an important part in technology in education. The teacher can answer questions over podcasts and assign homework through podcasting. This type of technology is very cost effective. It has little expense, and great appeal to the students. This article could have used more information for me to research and develop a better thesis. How much do podcasts cost if anything? What types of settings are not efficient when using podcasting???
