Every Falkirk teacher and pupil has space to save documents, photos, and videos. Because it is cloud-based, you can start a file on your classroom PC and pick it up exactly where you left off on your iPad. It\u2019s also the engine that allows for real-time collaboration in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">\ud83c\udf93 Why is it useful?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Version History:<\/b> Accidents happen!
