Prepeare... If you have dual screens, I would advise setting your main display to 800x600 then have various materials loaded ready on your other screen ready, i.e PowerPoint with slides, netbeans, browser pages with resources, etc
try to include a good mix of defining a problem, discussing the solutions (not just rest), whilst discussing show slides with diagrams to illustrate what your saying (with images rather than txt on screen), then do a hello world example to capture interest early... Then I would pull up a slide to show the topics you plan to cover, I.e security, blah blah some people are visual learners, some need code, some prefer text, some prefer coding at the same time.... Just concentrate on a consistent style that's clean, delivers the points as clearly as possible. I am thinking about doing some online webinars myself, so I would be interested in how you get on, good luck with the interview :-) one obvious thing, watch out for 'erm's and regular filler words that can be really annoying to a listener.
