          No doubt that experiencing the role of the online student helps the eModerator to have other kind of realizations for his/her own eTeaching. This third week has been a blast on several issues that were not exactly overtly addressed, but that sparked my interest to explore now that I am teaching synchronously on a virtual classroom. And after being asked what I had learned along this third week of the BlendIt course with Prof. Janet Bianchini, I have to admit that more than learning I must talk about realizations on how to use my expertise in online education in different ways to have learners profit from their online language learning.

          For this task course participants had to come up with an alternative way to submit three things we had learned along the week. The various activities, including the ones we had ever since the course started, are here presented to you on a PowerPoint presentation shared with peers through SlideSHare.

     I am sure that we can continue to develop this presentation beyond this point onward to come up with a more sensible collection of activities for online language teaching. I hope this can help anyone interested in the topic to touch some ground in the virtual learning environment that education is experiencing nowadays and that will become the norm for many a year ahead of us.
