Overall Satisfaction with Google Classroom

Google Classroom has solved a lot of the issues during COVID of making sure all assignments were in one place for our school clients that were all working through the tough changes from a pandemic. We helped implement it in many schools that we continue to support. Its integration with existing Active Directory made it very easy to add on, plus Google providing it as a free service for schools.
  • Assignment tracking
  • Collaboration of teams together
  • Organization and integration of assignments and documents
  • Permissions to non-Google users is not always intuitive
  • Managing permissions to resources outside of the organization could be improved
  • Chromebook tracking features could be improved
  • Integration with Active Directory and authentication programs like Clever
  • Seamless student and classroom learning management
  • Strong support from Google Enterprise engineers as needed
  • Expert documentation and support has allowed for seamless integration
  • We built support platform around Google G Suite for EDU and Google Classroom has been an integral part of it
  • Assisting in the learning program and supporting it has been streamlined
Google Classroom ties to the Google G Suite for EDU which has very good support and documentation as needed, at no additional cost, which is a big deal for setting it up. The integration with Chromebooks, Active Directory, Clever and other common platforms make it very attractive. The others were a bit less refined and do not have as much responsive support when setting up.

Did implementation of Google Classroom go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Classroom again?

Yes

Lower-aged schools should look for something more like Seesaw, that's a bit easier for younger ages, but for middle and high school aged students and classrooms, Google Classroom is very good due to tying into the Google G-Suite for EDU and integration with Chromebooks and Active Directory. If looking to save on costs, this is a strong candidate.
