Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom
Google Classroom is widely used at my school to organize classes and student work. It provides a clean and simple platform that is perfect to help students get into the world of digital platforms. It works especially well for students with LBLD because it is so clear cut and open. The platform is uncluttered, but has everything you need to get started.
- Has great integration with the Google suite of programs such as Google Calendar and Drive.
- Mobile platform makes for easy upload of photos.
- Allows for collaboration in a classroom setting, be it with one student and teacher or multiple students.
- A better discussion board ability would be useful.
- Ability to have editing permission for documents where "Make a Copy for Each Student" is utilized.
- Ability to drag and drop items to show on Home Screen would be useful.
- Google Classroom has made it easier to organize materials for both myself and my students.
- It has helped ensure that students can always access their work.
- It has also helped make student/teacher contact simpler and cleaner, while integrating other google programs.
- Canvas, Edmodo and Blackboard
Google Classroom does not have all the capabilities of Canvas or Blackboard, but is a great choice for those who need an introductory digital platform. It is a great way to begin going digital, and has some great features, like the ability to share posts between classes/years. It is much cleaner than Edmodo and this has been a big sticking point for me, who does not enjoy digital clutter.
