Great examples, Michelle, and wonderful observations of the benefits of blended learning. I agree that it can enhance and centralize the thinking process for the student and it can also expand the scope of any course - students can now include informtaion beyond the immediate curse and/or the ideas of the immediate instructor. The instructor's ideas are part of a variety of inputs and numerous ideas from those inputs. While the instructor is necessary to guide the process and support the learning, the student can now be central to the actual learning path and how the learning is applied.
