Google Classroom vs Zoom

• Seamless integration with Google Drive. Easy for teachers to attach Gsuite files such as docs, slides, sheets, forms, site to enhance the learning.
• Manage student work submissions and whether they are on time or late. Students submit their work digitally and teachers can track the submissions, send them back for editing, or award points.
• Streamline classwork and homework assignments into one simple thread. Much like a social media platform like Twitter or Facebook, Google Classroom has everything top-down in one fluid thread for students and teachers to be able to easily find and access.
• Integration with other edtech tools such as Pear Deck, Edpuzzle, etc. Teachers can link to outside assignments on other programs they often use in their classrooms with their students.

• It just works. Biggest complaint with our previous solution is that it took 10 minutes to connect to a meeting. Now, our users connect instantaneously.
• Dashboard is fantasitic. Can access real time information to troubleshoot calls.
• Admin ports offers quite a bit of information. Like that it's a one stop shop to access everything I need to administer the site, users, run reports and access the dashboard.
• Tickets get resolved quickly.
• Feature requests are realized quickly.

• Google Classroom is NOT an LMS, although some schools/districts try to mold it in that fashion. It does not include robust features of an LMS.
• Google Classroom provides a grade book, but that grade book does not sync with all district's grade book, so you will have to manually transfer any grades received.
• It would be great to see Google Classroom offer a closed-captioned option for any uploaded videos shared on the site.

• When I used Zoom while conducting some administration tasks, it wasn't quick to switch back and forth between the one providing support and the user for the copy/paste function. When I spoke to the one providing support they said it happened all the time.

• Positive ROI has been, specifically in our Physical Education department, the ability for students to quickly provide reflections on activities rather than being sent away to do this as homework. This resulted in a much higher completion rate.
• Another positive has been the auto-creation and organization of folders in courses for our teachers to reference in future years.

• Allowed for us to start meetings at a faster speed especially with its Slack integration.
• Integration with HubSpot has made it easy to also set up Zoom webinars and sync any contact data within the CRM.
• Need battery chargers for laptops in a meeting lasting over an hour - drains them fairly quickly.
