She has been teaching Polish
as a foreign language and English, since 1976.
M.A. Halina Ostańkowicz-Bazan
also gives lectures in English on Polish History and Culture for students from
all over the world. She has been looking for some inspiration and learning how
to teach using new technologies, since 2010. WizIQ fascinated her since she found the Platform.
In addition to this, Halina is
extremely interested in Cultural
Diversity. Furthermore, she believes that teaching language using songs is
a powerful and enjoyable way of improving communication skills. Her educational
approach recommends singing a language, meaning that we don’t speak the
language, but we sing it.
Halina is a long-life learner,
so she has been working on improving her teaching/learning skills for a very
long time.
Additionally, she is for blended
learning as well as flipping classroom techniques. She also finds Virtual
Classes tremendously exciting and challenging, as they make attendees feel like
having a real meeting and discussion. In Halina’s view, Visual quality and
non-verbal communication tools, you can share with attendees are particularly
significant. Moreover, an opportunity to communicate online with people from
around the world is an overwhelming experience as well as an excellent chance
to connect for teaching and learning. An occasion to meet and connect with
people from the entire Globe is one of the reasons she appreciates online
communication, very much.

The Difference Between Knowledge And Skills: Knowing Does Not Make You Skilled
The Difference Between Knowledge And Skills: Knowing Does Not Make You Skilled
To make it simple, knowledge is theoretical and skills are practical.
Practice is the only way to develop skills: The more you do something, the better you get at doing it.

Education Online The Latest State of Research
There are both pros and cons of online education.
Online learning should be seen as a complement and extension of classical forms of learning. Not even the best online course can fully replace the personal contact with a teacher, or the human relationships that develop in a group.
All in all, traditional classes should not be replaced with online learning.

Network Online Practice
Network Online Practice offers additional language practice for students, including video activities, a comprehensive testing program, and conversation activities with audio playback that allow students to record themselves as one of the Network characters. The powerful Learning Management System allows you to assign work and track students' progress.
Network uses social networking to link learners for common goals – shared language success and professional growth.
Social networking themes are incorporated through a variety of classroom-based and online tasks. These provide an authentic and meaningful context for language learning.
Network is easy to teach and easy to learn from – the one-page, one-lesson, one-learning outcome approach requires minimum preparation and helps you to track your students' progress.
Additional resources include authentic video from the BBC Motion Gallery, iTools digital resources for interactive whiteboards, and Online Practice that you can assign as homework and track.

Online Evolution and Predictions
It is known that HarvardX and other institutions continue to create new massive open online courses (MOOCs; see the current list at harvardx.harvard.edu/modules-courses).But with hundreds of offerings available on edX, Coursera, and emerging platforms (such as the Business School’s HBX; see harvardmag.com/hbx-14), emphasis is now shifting to research on applications and assessments.
One promising avenue is the “blended” or “flipped” course, in which content such as recorded lectures is made available to students, like a multimedia textbook, before they meet with teachers in the classroom. Gordon McKay professor of computer science Harry R. Lewis described how he reengineered a course this way, with low-tech recordings costing a tiny fraction of the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in a full-scale HarvardX offering, in “Reinventing the Classroom” (September-October 2012, page 54).
Such courses appeal for two very different reasons. They may deepen learning, if class time formerly spent on lecturing is used instead to grapple with difficult concepts or work through problem sets with fellow students. They can also be an avenue toward efficiency and economy as more students, in effect, share a lecturer.

The 4 Components of a DIY Professional Development Toolkit
http://www.edutopia.org/blog/4-components-diy-pd-toolkit-dave-guymon
Education has always been a reflection of broader cultural values. As such, the roles of teachers and students have evolved as our models of education have moved from one iteration to another. Teachers who once traveled to town to instruct a heterogeneous room full of passive learners on matters of rote memorization have come to adopt new roles and philosophies toward learning. As these new models have emerged, educators have been required to hone their skills and adapt to ever changing sets of priorities, needs and expectations.
Where such trainings were once the sole responsibility of state and district organizations, many teachers are now seeing the value of venturing out to amalgamate their own professional learning experiences. While no two paths are the same, there are four components of effective do-it-yourself (DIY) professional development that all educational professionals should consider.
