Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom
Google Classroom is used district-wide and also implemented at specific sites. The two schools, within the district, that I have worked for have implemented Google Classroom. It is available for all teachers to use, but it is ultimately up to the teacher if they choose to fully implement it into the curriculum. It is a great way to integrate technology in a way that is meaningful for our students.
- Google Classroom gives you the ability to differentiate work by groups. For example, you could post assignments for the entire class or for a specific group of students.
- With Google Classroom, parents can sign up to receive information about their child's progress on assignments. This includes any assignments that were missing or late.
- Google Forms does a great job of visually displaying information from surveys; I would like to see something like that for Google Classroom. I think this would be helpful, specifically, when pulling up students overall points to conference with them.
- Students are much more engaged in lessons throughout the day, making them more motivated to learn.
- The content is accessible to everyone since students have different modes they can respond in. For example, they might be viewing a PDF and answer on a sheet of paper, while other times they may be asked to create a presentation to demonstrate their understanding of a topic.
Edmodo is a great way to integrate technology and get students engaged, as well. However, Google Classroom makes it easy to attach assignments from Google Drive, where I create many of the materials that I use for my students. I love how easy it is to navigate through the site and the simplicity of it makes it easy for students to engage.
