Google Classroom

Pros

I like that Google classroom has a clean interface that makes it easy to use even for beginners. It has all the features required to facilitate learning, share notes, give assignments, provide feedback, attach important materials and track progress. I use it with my team to facilitate training and ensure everyone understands our future projects beforehand. I also like that the notification system keeps everyone on the same page.

Cons

I sometimes experience problems when uploading documents from my phone. It requires stable internet for effective collaboration and learning. Adding an audio sharing feature would make the platform even better. I also wish there was a way to monitor and confirm that the team members are reading the relevant materials.

Pros

So much easier to use than Schoology. Easily connect to the Google Suite. Nothing you cant figure out on your own.

Cons

Comments feom other teachers classroom that flood my email.

Pros

What I loved most about it is the wonderful organization with high quality and the capabilities of bringing together large numbers in teams in a way that is not available in many other sites. It suits me in many situations, such as my studies and work, and I truly believe that any person currently, whether a student or an employee, will need it one day.

Cons

What I liked least about the site is their slow customer service and response, and I think it does not befit the range of features on the site. The last thing was that if some of the ideas on it were developed using artificial intelligence, it would be more creative, although it really is not one of the best sites for me. The best of them

Pros

A good general system for managing a digital classroom. But basic.

Cons

Still sloppy in handling message board text. Grade system improvable. Lacks a personal file where student information can be reviewed and notes taken if necessary.

Google Classroom easily integrates into the rest of the services offered by Google, like Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Meet, furthering the development of a very integrated digital learning environment. It has an intuitively designed interface with built-in organization tools that make it easy to keep assignments, communications, and tracking for both teachers and students on course.

Cons

Google Classroom provides simple communication functionality, but it lacks breakout rooms or any other advanced interactive communication capabilities standard with dedicated solutions for video conferencing.

Pros

Google Classroom strikes a remarkable balance between simplicity and power. I enjoy the easy-to-navigate dashboard, the seamless method for creating assignments, and how it blends well with additional Google services. It is a wonderful student engagement and communication platform.

Cons

I would like to be able to screen replies before they are posted.

Pros

Google Classroom is easy to use for kids for classroom work!

Cons

I think Google Classroom could have a feature that parents could review and have access documents.

Pros

The main reason for I am using Google Classroom for Virtual Classroom, Record management, Assignment submission and Chat with my friends. Really Google Classroom very comfortable for above point outed features and second thing these all features are completely free So, it is very useful for students and School, College Organizations.

Cons

I am very comfortable with all features apart from the Document submission. Because I can't able to upload document directly. You want to send document first need to upload document in to the google drive. Some time I am facing more struggle uploading the document to google dive. It's Just my side Opinion other wise Google Classroom very comfortable for me and my friends.

Pros

Google Classroom excels in fostering seamless collaboration through easy file sharing, real-time feedback, and integration with Google Workspace tools.

Cons

While Google Classroom offers robust features, navigating its interface initially may require some familiarization.

Pros

Google Classroom is intuitive and easy to navigate, both for teachers and students. Its clean interface and straightforward design make it accessible even to users with limited technical expertise

Cons

User Interface Challenges: A Critical Look at Google Classroom's Minor Navigation Issues

Pros

Google Classroom is great for teachers. It allows them to organize their classes in a more appropriate way taking into account new technologies. In my case, I make videos and presentations (with other programs) and then use them in the classroom. During the time of coronavirus, the program was my lifeline as a teacher. Google Classroom allows you to organize classes and include complementary materials. Plus, it's great that you can assign different activities to different students. In this way, depending on the level, you can prepare materials that best suit specific students. The option to send activities for students to do is also very good. There are many options, such as sending tests and writing more text activities.

Cons

I think that the activities section, although good, can be improved.

Pros

It is one of the most user-friendly, mobile-friendly, free-to-use, paperless app which enables teacher and learners to bring on a common technological platform. It also enables students to attend the classroom if they are away from class due to some reason from any remote place with very ease.

Cons

There is a need for a smartphone with high data usage which is little bit of costly as far as students from rural and agricultural background is concerned. Although it is the best platform but connectivity, fast internet availability issue will be there. Again, it is difficult to monitor the usage of mobile by children if parents are not intervened for high usage as use will be more and students are addicted to the mobile. Apart from this students will not be more attentive as they close their camera and sit aside doing their own work.

Pros

Easy accessibility both for the tutor and students
Ease of teaching and assessment of the students
Smooth learning experience from students side

Cons

The screen sharing experience and broadcasting experience could have been better . I hope developers will fix this lagging issue in upcoming time .

Pros

It allows me to create and manage multiple classrooms teaching various topics, sharing notes, creating assignments and taking online tests. Further, I can take online meet sessions with them to teach something new.

Cons

The chat system is not fully efficient for me. Further, the online meet system limits the number of users that can join at a particular time.

Pros

Google Classroom is a simple, user-friendly approach to classwork management. From the ability to post daily stream content to copy-read assignments, Classroom makes distribution and collection of work a snap. Scheduling posts and materials, organizing work by topics, grading assignments, and student interaction are all incredibly simple and easy to navigate.

Cons

There are very few cons to Google Classroom. Rearranging materials on the Classwork tab can be cumbersome and clunky, particularly on a touch screen, as materials can be too easily dragged and dropped around. I enjoy the product overall, but there is a really nice "random student" selector that is only available on the app and not the browser version, which would be a nice inclusion.

Pros

I like the easy accessibility and navigation of the features within the application. The application also has more features that could be used across all age levels making it useful for all.

Cons

Even though Google Classroom is an excellent learning application, including live video communication features will be fantastic.

Pros

What I liked most is the system where we can access all the lectures we need at any time and we can access the required assignments and know the deadline for submitting them. We can communicate with colleagues and teachers.

Cons

Live meetings cannot be performed So we should use another app to meet.

Pros

As we can use it on Mobiles and our all devices and User friendly platform gives us the best experience ,Grading and feedback is the option that i like the most.

Cons

Organizing materials in a topic and In the feature of grading and Feedback their are less options and bad thing is Poor Connection

Pros

It's easy to use and good app for making money

Cons

Google classroom is good for my class and meetings. it's makes me compostable to use it's can communicate a lot of people, even In my work online google classroom it's really good

Pros

Fast easy and all at your control many platforms to communication

Cons

Loading time if not connected to same or decent wifi it can lag

Pros

Simple to use interface; easily shares, gathers, and grades Google Workspace papers; connects with many other apps and websites.

Cons

There are little parent communications and no alternatives for standards-based grading

Pros

One of the standout features of Google Classroom is its seamless integration with other Google tools. This makes it incredibly convenient for both teachers and students to access documents, spreadsheets, and presentations directly from the platform. The user interface is intuitive and straightforward, allowing even those with limited technical skills to navigate and utilize the features effectively. I particularly appreciate the ability to create, distribute, and grade assignments all in one place. The notification system is also robust, ensuring that students stay informed about upcoming deadlines and any updates from their teachers.

Cons

While Google Classroom offers a lot of great features, there are a few areas that could use improvement. The lack of a built-in calendar view can make it difficult to get an overview of all assignments and deadlines at a glance, requiring users to switch between Google Classroom and Google Calendar. Additionally, the grading system, while functional, can sometimes feel a bit cumbersome, especially when handling large volumes of assignments. Another limitation is the lack of customization options for the interface, which can make it feel a bit too rigid and less adaptable to different teaching styles and needs. Lastly, the platform can occasionally experience lag or downtime, which can be frustrating during critical times like assignment submissions.

Pros

What I liked most about the Classroom was the ability to make submissions, being able to see those who submitted work on time from those who were late, and being able to facilitate many means of submission, such as written file formats and being able to add links or video extensions for work that included multimedia creation.
It also made it easier to see the grades that teachers graded quickly and almost instantaneously, which was appreciated, compared to having to wait a week or two for teachers to return paper exams.

Cons

What I “least liked” could be said to be the constant notifications I received as a student from Google Classroom for any changes made by the teachers. Even when they made optional academic proposals, many times as students we received such notifications as if they were really urgent things. Also, sometimes when all the subjects were gathered in a single classroom, it could become a bit tiresome and tedious to search for files of previous activities.

Pros

Google Classroom's integration with Google Drive, ease of assignment management, and real-time collaboration features streamline communication, simplify grading, and enhance the overall learning experience for both students and teachers.

Cons

The interface can be unintuitive, and notifications overwhelming. Integration with non-Google tools is limited, hindering seamless workflow management.
