14. Sound Bytes With Office 365 we can get connected immediately with our colleagues, communicate and collaborate with our fellow teachers. We can Share documents and collaborate with colleagues online. Create, store, and edit Office documents online. Set up and conduct online sessions for our students. 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.

Sound Bytes It is very pleasing to know that IT sector is trying to benefit all types of human beings to as to ensure a uniform pattern of growth by creating a paradigm shift in the process of education. In this direction, the Window accessibility center is featured with the tools which are quick to access especially for learners with special needs. 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 able 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, Photostoryetc 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.
