Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at a university, and since we have to maintain communication with the students, one of the ways we do that is through Google Classroom. It depends on each teacher, but I use Google Classroom to communicate with students. In particular, I use it to upload the content of each unit topic, perform rapid assessments, and assign some homework or even exams. I have also used it to answer and hear questions from students and to give timely notices.

Pros and Cons

Alternatives Considered

Schoology

Since Google Classroom is part of the Google suite, several different tools are integrated with Classroom so it makes the user experience more rewarding than other platforms like Schoology. You can do certain things faster than with other platforms since you can have something in Drive and quickly upload it in your classroom.

Other Software Used

Schoology, Edmodo

Likelihood to Recommend

At first, it can be a bit complex to use or learn how to handle. But after you have more practice, it becomes very easy and simple. The first time you use it it may be difficult to create different groups for each subject, but the more you use it, the easier it becomes. I really like that you can create exams quickly in Google Classroom.
