We can access our email and calendar from our computer not only that we can use our smartphones. The best part is that we can be online throughout i.e. 365 days and 24x7.

15. Sound Bytes The tools like magnifier, narrator, on screen key board, setting up high contrast under Accessibility features of Windows, can prove beneficial to those who generally lag behind the general population when it comes to the application of innovation in the field of information technology. Those who are differently abled can get themselves in position of equally abled. It was fascinating to know that we can be connected throughout, with our College through MS Office 365 throws an insight as to how we can collaborate, co-ordinate and share with our coworkers. Tools like LCDS, Maths 4.0, Autocollage, Photostory etc will enhance our teaching capabilities Thanks to the Microsoft team, which has provided us such fascinating and exciting tools which we can be effectively used in making the teaching learning process effective, interactive and at the same time interesting. Thanks to Mr Ashutosh and Mr Sandeep Tomar for explaining and demonstrating the things in such a simple way that we are now able to project these skills in our instructions.
