This webcast was for a doctoral class at Illinois State University that I am taking on Improvements of Curriculum and Instruction. I was partnered with Dea Conrad-Curry to lead our class discussion for this particular session. We created a wiki for students to post and respond to questions the week prior to our online webcast. We as a class have been reading about the politics of curriculum and thus text book selection. We had a guest speaker with us, Dr. Kris Ross talk about her experiences with these issues. Read more reflection in my blog.

This webcast was done with the intended audience of my students- Master’s level dietetic students at Illinois State University. I was fortunate to have an alumn who graduated in May working at a renal clinic in Chicago and was interested in doing this online webcast. She was a great co-host! You can read my reflection of this show on my blog post. -Julie Schumacher Class 2.2

Webcasting is about letting it flow, letting it take you to unexpected places, voices and encounters. However, the backstage is about planning, preparation. It seems paradoxical, but, in fact, it isn't. To let the voices around you feel at ease, the group of webcasters must have an idea on where they want to head. The final end might be unpredictable, but they need to know what they are doing there to makes everyone comfortable and confident to speak their minds.
