Webcast America is an online video streaming company that works with high schools and colleges around the country. Their mission, through a partnership with the schools, is to provide viewers with free access to sporting events and activities through in an online archival and live streaming forum.
Webcast America gives students the opportunity to take ownership in this publication process as "webheads." This part-time job through the school pays students for the productions of events. Students film and provide commentary in live streaming and pre-recorded videos. The website for Webcast America is www.webcast50.com or you can click the link for the Webcast America Becker Event Page to see archived videos and any live performances that might be in live broadcast.
Students interested in joining this activity should see Mr. Burklund and learn about training options and schedules. Webheads sign a contract with the school as an independent contractor and schedule their work with Mr. Burklund.
