Live streaming

Live streaming can be a very powerful tool to use in a classroom.  It allows students who are unable to attend a class, able to tune in to the class from the comfort of their homes.  This is ideal for a school division such as Frontier School Division because it is not always possible for students to attend class.  These student will now be able to view the class through the live stream and also ask questions throughout the stream.  Live streaming presentations from conferences and other events around the world would be extremely valuable as you can attend a conference without having to travel halfway across the world.   Dr. Joe Mazza (2014) believes live streaming should be used more frequently within the schools.  One elementary school live streams their school events and meetings for anybody who is unable to make it to the school.  Live streaming can be powerful and useful in a school setting if implemented properly.
