Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom
Our entire organization, Blair Oaks High School, uses Google Classroom. We use it in many ways, including content instruction, event planning, and organizing groups and extracurricular activities. It is easy to use, simple, quick, and makes teachers' and students' lives easier. Teachers and students can collaborate with each other electronically with each other. Teachers can use it to facilitate learning, share with students, organize the work students complete, provide quick formative and summative feedback for students, allow students to collaborate with each other, and easily integrate other platforms of the G-Suite.
- Allows teachers to share material with one, multiple, or all students at one time.
- Also allows teachers to schedule the time that items post. The entire site is very customizable.
- Teachers can integrate other G-Suite applications easily with Classroom. For example, teachers can create and assign a Google Form as a formative or summative quiz for students on Google Classroom.
- Organizing class documents and assignments is very easy because Google Classroom automatically creates separate folders in your own Google Drive.
- Teachers used to be able to organize the stream of Classroom by topics or chapter. Currently, it is in ascending order from the most recent posts.
- Hard to import grades from other G-Suite (like forms, etc.) into assignments on Google Classroom.
- A possible way to improve for education would be to block students from accessing any other web pages while they are taking an assessment.
- Helps give students home access to class materials digitally.
- Organizes class digital materials easily.
- Makes learning more engaging for students.
Google Classroom is free and easy for all. It's also easy to integrate other Google platforms with. It helps transfer grades from one place in Google to another. I currently use PowerSchools for grade recording, and have used Infinite Campus in the past. These are great for recording student grades, but teachers can do the same things in more user-friendly ways with students using Classroom.
