15. Saksham -Reflections The growth of a Country depends on the adaptation and usage of current technologies by the society. The outcome of a plant depends on the seed quality and its (living) environment. Similarly the productive and intellectual capabilities of a student depend on the knowledge seed implanted by the mentor and supportive environment provided to him/her, through ICT technologies that can make him/her to stand at any corner of the world. Mrs. Vijay Lakshmi Vandrangi, Andhra University The tools and application explained in this program such as MS office2010, LCDS, Photo story, AutoCollage, cloud computing, Office365 are really helpful in incorporating or introducing the E learning process to the traditional learning process.
