Google Classroom

Google classroom is a free web service developed by Google for schools. It aims to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments in a paperless way. The primary purpose of it is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students. Google Classroom is a learning platform that offers a variety of benefits for both students and teachers.

Whether you’re a 1:1 class or you just rock the computer carts from time to time, it can elevate your classroom’s productivity. It can also take the workflow management to the next level. By assigning the assignments and conducting online test, we would not have to carry heavy stacks question papers which would hurt our backs. We don’t even have to wait for the next day to give information or the announcement, we can just post it any time.

Google Classroom makes it easy to check on student work. By entering into the student work screen, we can click on to any student’s assignment thumbnail to view real-time progress.  Therefore it is easy to provide targeted feedback using the comment feature. We can easily track those students who need help with the help of revision history as it also allows us to see how productive (or not so productive) a particular student was during class time.

Since Google apps are cloud-based, meaning they live on the Internet rather than on your hard drive. Thus works in Google Classroom are saved automatically and is accessible from any device. Students can also work seamlessly wherever they are, without worrying about clunky flash drives, emailing files back and forth, or losing progress due to computer malfunction. You need not have to worry of losing the data even if your computer crashes before you could save it.
