Justin.tv is a website where you can create livestreaming broadcasts. It is really simple, I figured it out in less then 30 minutes. You create a channel (when you set up the account your account name becomes you channel). You can save broadcasts, or only broadcast live. When broadcasting live, anybody who has your channel can watch, as long as they are on at the time you are broadcasting. You can set up times so viewers can watch. Applications in the classroom are students can make broadcasts of presentations and either save them or share them live. I was thinking this could be great for students home sick for a longer period of time, or during breaks. Granted, studnets mght hate you forever, but such is life. Another application would be viewing broadcasts acorss the world. Students could watch a "guest" speakers, in a different part of the state, country or even world. That could be a very powerful presentation. Here is my justin.tv channel and broadcast: http://www.justin.tv/tthornton_0518
