Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom
Google Classroom is used just as the title suggests - it's a classroom within a classroom. Teachers create virtual classrooms for each class period and post assignments, create discussions, assign homework just like they would do in a regular classroom. Only with Google Classroom, it is done in virtual space, which allows for everyone - even students with attendance issues - to be an active participant in the class.
- It allows for collaboration between students in virtual space that mimics that of the real classroom.
- Allows for a variety of tools (i.e., educational apps) to be listed for use by students in one centralized space.
- It is connecting to the district's learning management system to make the grade transfer process easy.
- They are making it easier for parents/guardians to sign up for the account and monitor student learning.
- Allows for student collaboration
- Allows to recreate a classroom and continue instruction beyond school hours to accommodate all students.
To create an instructional space online, Google Classroom is ahead of its competitors. It does precisely what educators need - create a virtual classroom where students can collaborate, post discussions, post their work, and receive immediate feedback. It feels like a real classroom. Schoology, though user-friendly and connected to the district's LMS, does not allow as much autonomy for educators to add outside apps and is otherwise more "robotic" than Google Classroom. Schoology feels and looks like Facebook, with student collaboration limited to comments, whereas Google Classroom feels like a real classroom in digital space.
