(1-25 of 35)- Streamlined assignment management.
- Seamless communication with students.
- Efficient grading and feedback process.
- Limited Integration with External Tools
- Enhanced Customization Options
- Advanced Grading Features
1) Google Classroom is ideal for traditional classrooms, offering easy assignment management and communication between teachers and students.
2) It excels in remote learning and online classes, providing a centralized platform for virtual classrooms and seamless engagement.
3) Google Classroom is perfect for promoting group projects and collaborative assignments, enabling teamwork and file-sharing.
4) It efficiently manages homework and assessments, simplifying the grading process and providing timely feedback.
Less appropriate scenarios:
1) Google Classroom may not be the best fit for advanced assessments with complex grading criteria or specialized testing requirements.
2) For large-scale institutions, dedicated Learning Management Systems (LMS) might better accommodate extensive administrative needs and scalability.
3) While adaptable for employee training, businesses with specific training requirements may benefit from more comprehensive LMS platforms.
4) In areas with limited internet access, alternative offline solutions might be more suitable to ensure continuous learning opportunities.

Best online interactive tool for students
I used Google Classroom for posting assignments.
I used Google Classroom for reviewing students' copies.
Problem that Google Classroom is solving is bringing student-teacher interaction classer.
- Virtual discussion - It provide discussion section for every post.
- Sharing Resources - It provide resource sharing option.
- Assignment Q&A - We can post Assignment in google classroom.
- Plagiarism checker- It does not work properly.
- Google Classroom system allows teachers to grade with authenticity and doesn't provide only one grade for a particular document or assignment.
- It does have its own limitations in terms of how students see the information.
Google Classroom is best for online learning
- Google Classroom is a great website for managing and organizing learning. i
- It is simple to use for interface.
- It interacts with a wide range of apps and websites; effortlessly shares, collects, and grades Google Workspace documents.
- The young students, they usually need an adult to read tabs for them to understand; a totally visual interface would be better.
- Using an application on a mobile device causes some lagging.
- Not all applications make it simple to assign assignments using Google Classroom.
Google Classroom
- Simple to use
- Google Quiz
- Interconnectivity with many other learning apps
- More user customization; e.g. Google Sites
- Able to schedule; not post the same assignment across multiple classes
- More tools to create custom rubrics
A+ for Google Classroom
- Teachers have immediate access to all student assignments.
- Live feedback and gradebook syncing.
- Real time announcements.
- Google calendar syncing to keep students on top of due dates.
- There is definitely a learning curve and students benefit from explicit instructions
Online Classes with code protection
- Easy interface which every one can understand easily
- Everyone has a code for attending lectures
- Keeps me informed about the news and schedule of lectures
- Mail alert system for any new updates in application
- Video streaming problem
- Voice lacking problem
- Using application through mobile hangs little bit
- Not all features are supported on mobile applications
Google Classroom for every classroom
- Organizes information by topics for user-friendly access
- Grade assignments for students, giving them instant feedback
- Works with so many other educational websites, making linking assignments easy!
- Checklist within the topics for the teacher to mark off assignments the students have finished
- Automatic notice to students when they have missing work or assignments due
- Teacher dashboard for a quick glance at the week or day (grades, assignments, class progress, etc.)
- Assignment tracking
- Collaboration of teams together
- Organization and integration of assignments and documents
- Permissions to non-Google users is not always intuitive
- Managing permissions to resources outside of the organization could be improved
- Chromebook tracking features could be improved
Not a proper learning management system
- The system is relatively easy to begin with.
- It is integrated with Google Drive and Google Docs, which makes recycling relatively easy.
- It is platform-independent.
- It is relatively speedy.
- Tests and quizzes (in my experience) are primitive and do not allow modern testing techniques involving IRT.
- Recycling of materials is, at best, counterintuitive.
- Formation of subgroups is difficult.
In the system I am experienced with (as an instructor and an observing administrator), student users have too much control over their own accounts, so that it is sometimes not clear who particular students are or, indeed, if they are supposed to be in the class or not. For schools and internal training programs in which the identity of participants is known beforehand, almost any other learning management system would be a better choice.
For simple sharing of documents, primitive tests, and collecting information from and distributing information to people, Google Classroom is adequate.
- If we register Google Classroom with our organization's mail ID we can use the integrated Google Meet for conducting online meetings, online classes, etc, but if we are using our personal mail ID for creating a classroom then we need G-Suite for setting up Google Meet.
- We can perform different online classwork like assignments, quizzes, and also we can conduct online exams with a proper grading system.
- Each of the classrooms created will be associated with a separate class code, we can simply share this class code to the students and with the help of this code they can easily join our class. Another method is we can add students by manually entering their mail ID.
- The default integration of Google Meet is absent if we are creating the classroom using our personal mail ID, and for integration we need G-Suite and we need to pay for it.
- The UI could be little more appealing, since the existing platform uses very simple and basic UI.
- Uninterrupted internet connection is required for proper working.
Amazing for real life collaboration in virtual space!
- It allows for collaboration between students in virtual space that mimics that of the real classroom.
- Allows for a variety of tools (i.e., educational apps) to be listed for use by students in one centralized space.
- It is connecting to the district's learning management system to make the grade transfer process easy.
- They are making it easier for parents/guardians to sign up for the account and monitor student learning.
Helps communication between teachers and students
- Easy communication with students and co-teachers via email.
- Easy to post new content and material.
- Tutorial lessons on how to use it.
- Update for teachers to see who has viewed and opened content.
Google Classroom offers ease of use and great value.
- Seemless collaboration
- Ease of grading
- Uploading of documents can be glitchy when using Google Docs.
- Classroom management tools could be improved.
Google Classroom is keeping our staff and students connected!
- Classroom content management is excellent in Google Classroom.
- Coordinating a cohort of students among many staff members is easy.
- Filtering assignments to search for could be easier.
- The ability to quickly poll a class.
Jack of all trades
- Creating a paperless environment for staff and students
- Helps keep the students organized by tying in with email and calendar.
- Easy for teachers to setup and use.
- Sometimes there are small glitches with file types on attachments.
An excellent tool to connect students and teachers
- Integrates Google Drive efficiently.
- Our paid curriculum has full Google Education integration.
- Additional educational websites and tools have full Google Suite integration.
- The mobile app is still slightly clunky to use, and not all features available from the website.
- There are not many visuals to aid in understanding student data.
Google Classroom - Easy Course Management System
- Posting course materials.
- Allow students to complete graded activities.
- Monitor student progress.
- Have a profanity filter.
- Have suggested resources for teachers to post based on the class content.
Google Classroom: Best Free and Easy-to-Use LMS!
- Google Classroom is easy for both the students and teacher to learn to use
- Google Classroom has the ability to store previous classes in the archives, so I can reuse content
- I can easily link worksheets from Google Docs and tests from Google Forms into assignment posts
- Google Classroom sends my students emails whenever I post a new assignment for grade an existing one
- I would like there to be a more complex gradebook, that lets students see their total grade in the class and allows me to create weighted categories (there was a Beta gradebook released recently, which I have not explored yet. Perhaps this is included there)
Enhancing Practice With Google Classroom
- Announcements: this is an easy and precise way to convey assignments, reminders, and information to students in a class.
- Connection to Calendar: the use of the calendar gives students a quick and direct way to know what is going on in the class, when assignments are due and other important due dates.
- To Do List feature: again, this is a great way to give students access to what is happening in the class and gives teachers a way to organize the class and/or their lessons.
- Loading students into a class can become cumbersome; it relies on downloading a CSV file and then uploading that---requiring a strong knowledge of how to do that.
- For someone new to using something like this, looking at the site initially may make them feel overwhelmed by all the information available.
- Although there is good information within the help center, it is difficult to find a way to contact someone directly, like a chat feature for example.
Google Classroom: The Simple Solution
- Simple
- Student-friendly
- Integrates with Google
- Gradebook is lacking
- API integration can be tricky
- Limited formatting in posts
Makes Teachers' Lives Easier
- Allows teachers to share material with one, multiple, or all students at one time.
- Also allows teachers to schedule the time that items post. The entire site is very customizable.
- Teachers can integrate other G-Suite applications easily with Classroom. For example, teachers can create and assign a Google Form as a formative or summative quiz for students on Google Classroom.
- Organizing class documents and assignments is very easy because Google Classroom automatically creates separate folders in your own Google Drive.
- Teachers used to be able to organize the stream of Classroom by topics or chapter. Currently, it is in ascending order from the most recent posts.
- Hard to import grades from other G-Suite (like forms, etc.) into assignments on Google Classroom.
- A possible way to improve for education would be to block students from accessing any other web pages while they are taking an assessment.
It would be less appropriate in scenarios outside of education, although the means of communication are easy.
Google Classroom is the best for teachers and learners
- Set up multiple classes.
- Assign tasks and give a deadline.
- Automatically grade the students or learners.
- Share files to group.
- The design is not that interesting to young learners.
- Structure is not very attractive to young learners.
- All of the students need to have a Gmail account.
