Jérôme Nogues, a Microsoft Innovative Educator expert, talks about how technology can be used in the classroom in this episode of Insights from NetSupport. In his conversation with our Head of Education, Mark Anderson, Jérôme expressed his belief that technology should only be utilised if it is beneficial to the teacher and students.   He also discusses some of the tools he employs, such as Classroom Cloud, which has been a game-changer for them, and Sentencebuilders.com, an incredible website for language instructors. In addition, he emphasises the benefits of Reading Coach and Reading Progress, which are excellent tools for English literacy and language acquisition. Finally, he suggests Flipgrid as an additional classroom tool.Watch the recording at https://youtu.be/FGxhG0b2Ojk Jérôme can be found on his twitter at :  @JeNoMfl (https://twitter.com/JeNoMfl) For more Insights and many more useful videos, please subscribe to the NetSupport channel.

There are two approaches to determine if your child is making the appropriate reading progress or not.  If you are wondering if it is time to stay the course or pivot and try something else, this episode is for you.

Just when I thought TikTok was ONLY for teenagers and the shuffle dance, I see one of our own corporate L&D colleagues, Mike Tholfsen, CRUSHING IT on TikTok with microlearning tutorials. Who knew?So, of course, I had to invite him on the show to talk about how he does it.  And why!Check out this "microtip" for excel: https://www.tiktok.com/@mtholfsen/video/6966327280356379909?lang=en&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6966263930818627078If you're anything like me, you've probably downloaded TikTok, tried it, then deleted it, and just watched your kids "play" with it.  Maybe you've joined them in a dance or 2... ya know, because they asked. But how in the heck could we ever incorporate this crazy little app into our professional, corporate, world of Learning and Development? The pandemic helped answer that question with medical professionals launching accounts and using the platform to explain COVID-19 and all the issues caused by the lockdowns. It's not all just fun and games.  But IDIODC is a little about fun and learning, so join us for this super fun conversation with Mike Tholfsen.Mike Tholfsen is a Principal Group Product Manager on the Microsoft Education team focusing on the Immersive Reader, Reading Progress, and OneNote Class Notebooks.  He is passionate about inclusive education and has been regularly working with students and teachers around the world over the past ten years to create products that improve student outcomes.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.
