Blended learning, especially if carried out in such a know-how and know-why way, seems to be the perfect recipe to achieve high levels of motivation among our students. I will definitely try to implement it. Thanks a lot Aiden and Rita for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

I loved the way they both presented the topics, and I understood what Alado was and how I can use it for blended classes. Aiden's presentation was awesome. I could relate everything I knew of methods to her presentation. I could imagine myself adapting her activities to my student's needs. Rita's presentation was also inspiring and dynamic. She mentioned tools that I haven't had the time to explore but I've seen how my webmates have used them, so I'm waiting for a little time to start using them myself. I really enjoyed the last presentation of our course. Now I'm motivated to start teaching my hubby in Antarctica and my students here in Argentina. Thanks a million, Lore (from Argentina) Hi everyone,

In their joint undertaking both of them exceeded expectations!! As for me, I find Rita's content and topic much more suitable to my own teaching practice, whereas Aiden's seems to appeal to a different kind of audience, one who seems to focus on Using Web 2.0 in Advertising. I've profited a lot out of them. Thanks a lot Aiden and Rita for sharing your enriching experiences. Cheers, Silvia from Argentina.

Unfortunately I didn't stay long as my Internet connection went down quite of a sudden. But I heard some of Aiden's talk and it was very impressive. Clear, well structured and inspring. Besides, Aiden used Flypaper for her presentation. And I saw a good example of how it could be done. I 'll be looking forward to their presentations and hope I'll be more lucky with my connection.
