Definition: A video and/or audio broadcast transmitted via the Internet
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a word that’s popping up more and more – “webcast.” The dictionary gave us a good starting point, you see, "a video and/or audio broadcast transmitted via the Internet." Let's break that down just a bit for clarity. Think of it like this: "Web" as in the World Wide Web - remember that? It’s where we browse online! And “cast” means to send out or transmit, like sending a message on a radio. So, a webcast is essentially watching or listening to something – maybe a lecture, a concert, or even a news report – live and it's being sent over the internet, right to your screen or earbuds! It’s like a digital performance or presentation that travels through wires and waves. It’s a modern way to share information and entertainment, isn't it? Do you have any questions about that? Perhaps you could give me an example of something you might see a webcast of?
