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. Occasion to meet and connect with people from the entire Globe is one of the reasons she appreciates online communication, very much.

She retired in October 2013 and signed for a freelance Senior Lecturer occupation at the Wroclaw University of Technology. Halina is going to continue giving university classes and lectures. What is more, she is confidently getting ready to finalize her online project.
