Hello there! this week I have learned more about the importance of CALL because with each lecture I got something new in my mind which is going to be completely useful for my future. Something that I'm interested in this week's text was the ease provided by different technological tools such as postcast and RSS, which are simple tools to receive information directly to your computer or on a web page. These tools help us in communicating and teaching to the students, practically postcast has become an important strategy for any new teaching lesson. Through out time, are becoming more essential for our learning and helpful for teaching to other people interested in learning a foreign language.

What surprised me in this article was the evolution of each tool during the time, because when everything started despite the fact that there was no stable, technology terms of these tools managed to establish themselves so that people began to realize that the technology at that time it was used and seemed as an essential tool for learning. The first beginnings of the postcast was an audio of a conference about a dialogue in a foreign language stacked up by a book. Through everything was developed, it began to popularize the mp3 and by this media it began to boom to this technique that has become very useful today.
Nowadays, this technique is still little known by schools but mostly used by universities to increase the learning by listening native speakers in order to reach correct pronunciation. 
Moreover, talking about blending technologies in ESl what surprised me in that article was that it talks about the importance of this tools as teaching teachniques put into prectice at univerisites with the objective of facilitate and optimizate the way of learning. To finish, it is remarcable to mentioned that these methods are very useful and ergonomic for students as well as for teachers because nowadays classes online can be done from whatever place just by having internet access and in that way people have more opportunities to study and work at the same time but also to organize their time and get prepare on the area they want to achieve. Thaks to blending strategies teachers can do their work from whatever part of the world.
