Google Classroom

Pros

Really good product for sharing notes, classworks, homeworks, and assignments, with students or your team. Can create separate groups for separate subjects, and the submissions can be graded and commented online too. All the files are organized according to the groups.

Cons

Not really much con here as a student. But the UI seems a bit too simple, it could be worked on in the future.

Pros

I really like the ability to add kids to a class and send out one link and have everything covered. It cuts way down on communication with kids and parents. Most times I don't even send anything out; they know the classroom after they enter the verification code, and they can go to the page on their own to see what it is that I have added.

Cons

I don't like how it never deleted your old classes but instead archives them forever. You can hide them, but I'd like the ability to just delete them.

Pros

I love how easily I can link it to Google Docs and how I can store feedback comments.

Cons

The ways in which to organize content is greatly lacking. The gradebook glitches and there are minimal ways to grade/label content that has been submitted.

Pros

- You don't have to create a new account, as you can use it with your GMAIL account
- Information can be shared in different formats, meetings can be scheduled and held virtually.
- Classes, notes and assignments can be accessed from any device.
- Allows for selective assignment of tasks.
- And most importantly, it is completely free.

Cons

- You must be updating the feed manually since it does not do it automatically and that can be a big problem.

Pros

I love using google classroom for online classes it is easy to use,no tutorials needed and it integrates well with other important software that you will need to make life easier such as google drive, google sheets, google docs on so on. You can access on multiple devices so if your late you can login in on your phone.
Everything is in one place, it is hard to lose track of your assignments, classwork, discussions and very importantly you can easily submit your assignments without needing to send it to the teacher's direct email. It can also reminds you of your assignments, you cannot losing your work so no need to worry about forgeting to save your info, Google classroom have so much good that it's hard to list everything all at once, but all i can say is I love this using this app.

Cons

I didnt like that i couldnt privately message my teachers on google classroom all comments were public. Ao if i wanted to message privately i had to email the teacher or whatsapp.

Pros

I love that you can easily add documents that allow students to have their own copy, links, and videos all to 1 assignment.

Cons

I don’t have any complaints about Google Classroom except that I wish the editing portion of docs was easier for kids to understand.

Pros

It's simple to create online classes and training sessions with Google Classroom. Again, it's simple to create and distribute assignments to students with this tool. Ability to collect and mark student assignments paperlessly.

Cons

It depends on stable internet connectivity to deliver excellent performance.

Pros

It is the easiest app to use and manage lots of students at easily.It also easily syncs with other google apps like meet, gmail, calendar etc.

Cons

The app is divided into different folders with different classes then the subjects are subdivided into those so sometimes it is time consuming and difficult to look for the thing which is immediately needed

Pros

We use Google Classroom to manage our 3 week summer cohort experience. The goal is to provide tools and organization around the classroom setting we create for incoming first-year college students. It keeps the teaching team organized, and provides students with a simulated Learning Management System (LMS) so they start to understand what to expect from their professors at college.

Cons

It can be cumbersome to create a logical workflow.

Pros

Google Classroom is a free and powerful tool for schools and educators.
It provided me with the ultimate classroom learning structure and is extremely user-friendly.
Third-party educational tools like Kahoot, Edpuzzle etc. can be easily integarted within Google classroom.
Teachers can streamline assignments, materials, homework etc very easily.
This is a highly secure database by Google for the users with excellent customer support.

Cons

The Practice sets on Google classroom could also be refined and made more teacher friendly with possibilities for adaptions for students.
Availing a better and detailed version of the google classroom for parents could be further beneficial as currently Google classroom is more focused on only teachers and students.

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.

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

Efficient communication through announcements, comments, and private messages.
Supports integration with Google Meet for virtual classes.

Cons

Limited Customization Options:

Inability to extensively customize the interface and course layout to fit specific teaching styles or branding needs.

Pros

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

The content sharing. We use this to store all the learning material to use in the class and we can review this anytime. This is the best feature so far.

Cons

None. All of the features are very useful and easy to navigate.

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

It tends to do basics well, but it could provide some kind to improve assessments and unique learning paths.

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

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.

Pros

Overall, Google Classroom and other virtual classroom platforma have the potential to transform education, making it more accessible and flexible.

Cons

Technology dependence. the virtual classroom depends on the availability and quality of students's internet connections and devices.

Pros

I like the fact that it has an intuitive interface, how easy it was to assign and grade homework with Google forms yet integratable with other google services A great approach to increase student engagement and make communication a little easier.

Cons

Google Classroom is particularly weak in variations from basic forms of assessment and differentiation.

Pros

I liked being able to track my progress on certain homeworks and projects. I also enjoyed being able to have schedule to do things at good times.

Cons

I wasn't a fan of the layout of everything. It looks nice and simple. But it could be a little more easier to navigate.

Pros

Easy to use
Inexpensive
Notes, assignment, test result sharing
Session recording
Test conduction

Cons

Networking dependency, but it can't be helped as Internet is crucial for virtual classes

Pros

Turning live sessions into recorded courses was easy, managing the courses and adding material throughout the training track was straightforward and it was generally easy to manage the team's progress through the process.

Cons

There was no way to interact directly inside Google Classrooms without integrations with Google Meet. Also, there is a lack of integration with other solutions from outside of the Google ecosystem.

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

I like that i can access all of my childs school work.

Cons

There is nothing that i dislike, i would like if i could send a message to the teacher via google classroom if need be.

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

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

That it concentrated all of my homework in one place on the Internet. It allowed me to be much more organized when submitting assignments.

Cons

My least favorite feature of Google classroom was that I wasn’t able to be notified on my phone when an assignment is due.

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.

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

I have been using Google Classroom I started my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. It has got everything a physical classroom has. The thing I liked the most about Google Classroom is it's ease of use. We can join different groups for different modules/subjects. The announcements and file sharing is also a very useful feature. I love how we can browse through the course contents with a lot of context and information. Also, the ability to quickly join a module's google meet session without having to find the link for it is also super useful.

Cons

I have to say that I didn't like the fact that there was no chat with classmate or teacher option available. We have to contact them through their provided emails which can be very annoying.

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.

Cons

It is no easily available to individuals.

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
