A Review of Google Classroom

Reviewed on 2024-07-07

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.

The system is flawed but really simple to use. It’s not the best LMS but most people have some familiarity with Google and are use to its design and system. I’d like to see major improvements to this system though.

Pros

I like how easy the system is to use. It is fairly straight forward and can be accessed by anyone who has the Google account. The style of the LMS looks like a social media posting site. You have 3 tabs the students can explore and posting is unlimited. There is a grade book feature with a rubric integration. It’s a good tool for essay grading and submitting documents.

Cons

The platform lacks many of the features of most LMS SYSTEMS. it does not ingrate well with complex plate risk checkers like turnitin. You have to manually add students each term as it does not integrate with other systems. If you copy a course then you loose the ability to utilize the plagiarism tool. Students also are confused by the stream where communication is posted. It also doesn’t allow you the ability to pin important documents to the top of the page.

My overall experience was very satisfactory. I used the classroom throughout 2020 up to and including 2021. The first year, during the pandemic, we adapted super fast and we could have the classes in an interactive way and without latency, interface or platform errors. The second year we handed in the assignments and exams through the platform and it was much more optimized to see the grades and notes made by the teachers. It became an extension of face-to-face classes, so I really consider it a platform that is here to stay if it is well used in the classroom.

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.

I use it for large classes at university even with 120 students. It is a very good communication and delivery management system. It lacks precision for more advanced functions.

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.

I used it for two years and enjoyed it while I did. The students did as well. It's one of the better learning management systems out there on the market when cost is factored in.

i feel that google classroom is the best app for conducting classes. best part is two way audio video and grading assessment which makes it my number one app for conducting my classes. my overall experience has been amazing as it gives platforms to teachers like us and students to communicate and manage coursework.

Pros

what i like most is seamless integration with other google apps such as google drive, docs, sheets and slides. This allows easy sharing and organization of documents. also google classroom gives a feature of grading assignments which i personally feel makes it preferred choice among tutors.

Cons

what i do not like is that it has limited customization options for grading assessment. it has limited functionality in grading interface.

I have been using Google Classroom for the past 4 years as a student, during my Bachelor's and Master's Program. It is very easy to use, very accessible, very convenient and it has all the features a student or a teacher can wish for.

Pros

Uploading the assignments was definitely one of my favorite things, as it was very easy to submit my work and keep track of the deadlines. I must also mention the share screen feature which many times made the course easier.

Cons

It is not necessarily a con, but something I personally wish it got improved. I would love to see more layout options and customization for both the working space and the online meeting.

Could not have survived my high school carreer with Google Classroom. Due to my own prior knowledge, and Google Classrooms simplicity, I was able to take full advantage of this free tool and make the most of it for my school life. Would highly reccomend it to any school with a stable wifi connection.

Pros

1. Easy uploading for assignments
2. Beingh able to comment and speak with the teacher directly about a specfic assignment
3. Getting emails if someone updated or marked an assignment, also being able to see the mark, and the marked document on google classroom to find your mistakes and fix them

Cons

1. Sometimes documents would not upload to google classroomdirectly, so I would need to upload it to google drive first, then google classroom, making it take more time and more space on my google cloud storage.
2. Sometimes the user-interface on my iphone/ipad would not make it easy to upload/view documents that my teacher would upload to google classroom, forcing me to use my laptop. An example would be not being able to see an google doc, that a teacher as left suggestions on. Not able to see it on my ipad, but when i open it on my laptop, it works perfectly fine.

My experience with Google Classroom has been very good. During the time of coronavirus, it helped me take my classes when they had to be online. In my case, I must say that, before it happened, I was already using the platform as my main aid and organization method in the classroom. Google Classroom allows teachers to organize their classes in a more personalized way. In addition, it allows particular curricular adaptations to be made.

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.

Overall, google classroom is great. Through its features, I didn't have to spend lots of money for learning management systems offered by other companies. Even though you might need to use other google products to utilize its whole sense, it is still easy to do since almost everyone has google accounts nowadays.

Pros

I use google classroom as a student and as a teacher as well, and for me, its pros are:
-It's easy to organize things like materials and homework
-It's easy to create a feedback and provide grade
-You can post any type of content (pictures, texts, videos, audios, and even quizzes and surveys)

Cons

The only con I can find in google classroom is you might need to use other google products to maximize all the features.

My overall experience using Google Classroom has been positive. It has a simple design, easy interaction with G Suite products, and effective assignment management. Communication and collaboration are expedited, but customization is limited, and internet connectivity is occasionally required. Despite a few small limitations, it has significantly facilitated the teaching and learning processes.

Pros

Pros: Google Classroom offers educators a user-friendly interface and integrates easily with G Suite apps such as Google Drive. Its effective assignment management system allows for the creation, distribution, and grading of assignments within the platform, which improves workflow. It serves as a communication hub, facilitating announcements, feedback, and conversations while encouraging collaboration. The digital format encourages organization, minimizes dependency on physical resources, and provides simple access from any place. Teachers can provide prompt comments and assessments, thereby promoting student learning.

Cons

Cons: To begin, there are few customization choices for assignments and course formats, which may not fit the needs of all educators. Second, it is dependent on regular internet access, which presents difficulties in locations with inadequate connectivity. Users who are unfamiliar with Google's products will also face a learning curve. Data collection may raise privacy concerns, particularly among minor pupils. Finally, while it interacts seamlessly with G Suite, it may encounter compatibility concerns with third-party programs.
