How did it Go, Jose?
Dear José,
So, how did it go? I still need to listen to you, but was eager to know your impressions about the show. Let me know what your Webcaster's feelings are about EFL practices.
Beijos.

Reply How did it Go?
Hi Carla,
It was an opportunity to practice my webcasting skills in an area that I care about, EFL Teaching and Learning. I wasn't sure what content to offer and was nervous about the whole thing. I was able to convince a colleague at my school, Rafael Murillo to help me co-host the event. In Webcasting it does involve more that just taking over the stream. Planning what content to present and knowing who your target audience are starting points. I was lucky to get moral support from Alice Durff. I was honored to have Vance Stevens come to the show and give his thoughts. I officially called it a pilot. I hope to offer this Webcast on the EFL Bridges site once a month. I hope that you and other webheads come in and participate. I'll keep you posted on any new developments. Take care, bye.
