However, I feel there would be some challenges to consider when implementing it. Initially, when I came across Microsoft Teams, I found it difficult to use at the primary level, and I still feel the same. But I can see that the basic features of Microsoft Teams might be beneficial in primary schools. I think that there would be a major learning curve for many teachers to understand the functionalities of Microsoft Teams. Training would be necessary. On the other hand, having shared resources in a centralised space promotes collaboration. While the initial use of Microsoft Teams might present challenges, the basic features it offers, such as centralised resource sharing, real-time collaboration, and organised communication, can greatly benefit primary schools. With proper training, support, and a focus on establishing a collaborative culture, Teams can become an invaluable tool for efficient resource management and enhanced collaboration among teachers. I do feel that it is more relevant to secondary schools/colleges.</span>

When it comes to self-evaluation, Microsoft Sway can be an invaluable tool for primary school teachers. With Microsoft Sway, students can create captivating presentations that showcase their progress . By incorporating multimedia elements like images and videos, students can express their understanding of various subjects in a visually engaging way. These student-generated Sways can then be compiled and presented to provide evidence of effective teaching and learning during the self-evaluation process.
In the context of self-evaluation, Microsoft Forms also offers advantages. By using Forms to create quizzes and surveys, teachers can gather insightful data on student performance and learning outcomes. The ability to analyse this data at the class or school level allows teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching strategies. By identifying areas of strength and areas that need improvement, schools can make informed decisions to enhance the learning experience for their students.
