Halina's Conversational English Video



This is my opening class for Halina’s Conversational English Course on WizIQ.
I created this video to make it possible for everyone to get familiar with Virtual Classes and online teaching. You can see how I use the tools available on WizIQ.
I am very sorry about the quality of the recording. It is obvious that I have to improve my technical skills.
I am counting on your empathy and support.
Enjoy…..

Science of Learning


 
 
This is an excellent presentation        
 
 
The mission of the newly formed Science of Learning Institute is to understand the most essential part of our human capital: the ability to learn. The Institute supports research and application that seeks to understand learning at all levels of scientific inquiry—including how the brain changes through learning, how development and aging affects our ability to learn, how neurological and psychiatric diseases disrupt or change learning, and why there are such vast individual differences that naturally occur among learners. A central part of the mission is to understand how new technologies such as machine learning and new educational programs can optimize learning—whether it occurs in the informal setting of the playground, the more formal setting of a school, a rehabilitation program, or on-the-job training.

Teaching with Technology: Week 1


 
 
This is Nellie's introduction to the Teaching with Technology online course.
And this is Dr. Nellie's article describing not only this particular course , but also some basic information about education online.
I followed the instructions and set my course; https://www.wiziq.com/course/95228-halina-s-conversational-english
I also conducted the first live class;
The meeting was very nice. It was a great pleasure to have a wonderful conversation with my online friends such as ;
 
Iwona Filip, Poland
Brian Boneham, United Kingdom
Nives Torresi, Italy
Jakub Kalinowski, Poland
Guadalupe Ortega, Mexico
María Jesús García San Martín, Spain
Prem Kumar Behera, Indie
Generally speaking, it was supposed to be an introduction to the values of being fluent in English as well as how not to learn foreign languages to escape from widespread learning mistakes.
I was presenting my teaching and learning experience and we were talking about our tutoring methods and discussing a value of English for communication approach.
