Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom
I am a high school teacher and many of my colleagues at my school also use Google Classroom. I have found that it allows for students to access the assignments or projects at their own pace, and allows them to refer back to the instructional materials as needed. Additionally, having them turn in their work via the Classroom, I have a digital record of the date and time it is turned in, as well as an archived copy of their work.
- It provides a staging area for all the instructional materials for an assignment or project which can be revisited by students as needed. Assignment instructions, resource materials, worksheets, web links, videos, photos, etc. can all be included and stored.
- It provides the ability to reuse projects/assignments across classes. This is particularly helpful for cyclic classes.
- It provides a date/time stamp that shows when each student turned in their assignment/project. VERY useful from a teacher's standpoint.
- I am not sure yet as to what types of improvements could/should be made.
- Maybe add a project timer feature???
- The impact of using Google Classroom has been very positive for me. It saves me a lot of time restating the learning objectives and assignment details as they are available 24/7 in the Classroom.
