Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom

Google Classroom is available to be used by any teacher in our school. It allows for teachers to post assignments and then have the students turn their work in online. A teacher can see at a glance who has not turned their work in and send out a reminder if they choose. The teacher can grade the work and put the grade online for the student to view. Students can send questions to the teacher if they do not understand the assignment and the teacher can respond back with an answer. Students can also collaborate together on their work.
  • It allows for teachers to post assignments online and students can check what the assignment is even when they are not at school.
  • A teacher can see at a glance who has not turned in their work.
  • The teacher can grade the work and put the grade online for the student to view.
  • Email can also be sent to parents to notify them of information they might need.
  • It would be nice if you could place the classes in a specific order rather than the order in which you entered them. This may be possible, but I have not found a way to change the list as I am viewing it from the Google Classroom list page.
  • Our school uses RenWeb as a school and it might be nice to have the ability to add the grades to RenWeb in addition to copying them to Google Sheets.
  • It has made the teacher work load lighter. Teachers don't have to take the paperwork home to grade.
  • The website can be reached from any location. So the work can be graded wherever a teacher is able to connect to the internet.
  • The turnaround time for grading work is faster. Student's get their results more quickly.
Middle school grades including 3rd/4th grade and above are perfect for the use of Google Classroom. It might be more complicated for elementary grades K-2 to use Google Classroom. It works very well with all the Google apps. An assignment given in Google Docs, Slides, or Sheets can be directly turned in to Google Classroom.
