Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Classroom is being used by schools and individual teachers in our organization. Currently, I use it in my own classroom to post assignments, links, and easily share items online with students. I also use it to allow students to turn in assignments and easily grade progress. Google classroom also allows me to connect my roster with other websites to easily sign students up for other online programs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It has an easy, user-friendly format for students and teachers.
It allows for teachers to upload a variety of assignments.
The format helps students and teachers stay organized in multiple classes and assignments.

Cons

I wish it was easier for students to pick and upload which type of Google document they want to use for a particular assignment.
Sometimes it takes a long time for a student's new document to be created or it isn't there when they create it. So they have to refresh the page and click on the document again.
I wish you could upload an assignment right from the stream like in the past rather than having to go into the classwork tab.

Return on Investment

Allowed for more frequent feedback to be provided to students on learning.
Allowed for more frequent and easily accessible feedback provided to teachers.
Minimized use of paper for assignments in the classroom/ school.

Likelihood to Recommend

Google classroom is well suited for a 3rd grade and up classroom. It is especially well suited for middle and high school where students are more well-versed in using technology. It allows teachers to easily share assignments with students and grade those assignments quickly and without paper. It might not be as useful in classrooms that do not have 1:1 technology, as it would be harder for students to finish assignments on time.
