    Google Classroom allows teachers to post for daily lessons and assignments. It also allows teachers to be able to communicate with students easily outside of class. Students are able to stay connected and know where to find all information and resources easily in a streamlined manner for all of their classes.

    The cyber security training, paired with the phishing simulator will reduce your company's vulnerability, at the same time that it flags the localized issues, so specific groups can be targeted later on. Phishing and scamming have become less of a problem once the users were better educated on how to prevent and identify scams/phishings.

    Pros
    Google
    • Student-teacher communication - I love using Classroom for this because my students can always go back and check what was on Classroom by looking through the stream. This way they don't have to go dig through emails to find what they're looking for.
    • Posting to multiple classes - I can post the same announcement or assignment to multiple classes at once without having to repeat the process or send separate emails.
    • Streamlining grading - when students turn work in on Classroom, it all goes to one place and then when I'm grading I can open their documents directly from Classroom or my Drive folder. This way, I'm not looking through emails and Google Doc shared files for their assignment.

    • Engages - People enjoy the videos, they are fun and interesting and they get people talking.
    • Customer Service - NINJIOs customer service is some of the most amazing I have ever experienced in any industry.
    • Simplifies - Information Security and the way breaches happen can be very complicated and technical, NINJIO manages to distill this down to easily understandable situations and ways the issue could have been avoided.
    • Great Value - NINJIO offers additional peace of mind for your information security at a very reasonable cost.

    Cons
    Google
    • The content management of the Classroom is not that good. The sub-section for notes, syllabus, or discussion is missing.
    • It doesn't have parental control feature.
    • It converts the excel output into a normal file. All the formulas and pivots got changed into plain text.

    • Easier way to upload new users.
    • Easier way to resend content to specific users.

    Testing is particularly important in online learning, and Google Classroom falls far short of other learning management systems in this regard. Security is also a concern: while account control is reasonable for the account used with Google Classroom, the person controlling a particular account is often able to, for example, forward or download proprietary materials.

    Usability
    Google
    Simple design and seamless integration with Google tools and drive, but missing some key features. However, since it is limited in overall functions and ability to truly personalize / customize, it is quite user friendly and easy to set up and get going, other than sending out the code to your course or dropping students in via their gmail account. Users of Google Forms and sites will find the layout similar in design.

    NINJIO has an overall easy platform to use. I'm not a fan that I have to use one hub and the Dojo to access different things. The platform does lack a few things, like timestamps of training completion and a schedule of what videos are going to come. The Dojo platform is good, overall.

    Support Rating
    Google
    Since this platform is provided by Google, the technical support is better than any others, and we are not required to bother about the space constraints for adding the contents. If we have a good uninterrupted internet facility we can access Google Classroom without any delay or lag. They have app support in both Android and iPhone.

    It was relatively easy to implement due to the simplicity of the platform. Even our more technology challenged teachers found it easy to get started with Google Classroom.

    I haven't tested or evaluated another digital classroom website or application. I feel like Google Classroom is convenient for many reasons such as compatibility to Google docs, slides, etc. I also love the ability to link to YouTube and other sites. I don't know if there would be a site that is easier to maneuver.

    Pricing is great but, if you automate the connection of new user accounts through systems like MS Azure, keep in mind that you will have to make sure to remove service accounts since they charge by a number of users connected to it. The pricing is really good and they offer a ton of features if you are willing to spend a few extra bucks.

    • Students are able to continue learning in a remote environment
    • Parents have a single, consistent organization structure to make it easy to track assignments and progress for multiple children
    • Much better solution than the quickly assembled Zoom-and-gloom of the previous spring when school abruptly went remote with no planning

    • Employees have recognized dangerous emails as a result of Ninjio cyber training videos.
    • Employees understand the importance and reason for our cyber security policies and adhere to them.
    • Employees have learned to question the validity of emails before responding and have forwarded any suspicious emails for review by IT and most generally we correct in doing so.
