About

Manage teaching and learning with Classroom. Google Classroom helps students and teachers organize assignments, boost collaboration, and foster better communication. Google worked with educators across the country to create Classroom: a streamlined, easy-to-use tool that helps teachers manage coursework. With Classroom, educators can create classes, distribute assignments, grade and send feedback, and see everything in one place. With simple setup and integration with G Suite for Education, Classroom streamlines repetitive tasks and makes it easy to focus on what teachers do best: teaching. Classroom is free for schools and included with sign up for G Suite for Education. Like all Google for Education tools, Classroom meets high security standards. With Classroom, teachers and students can sign in from any computer or mobile device to access class assignments, course materials, and feedback.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Brightspace has a lot of options for what you can do with it. There's a dropbox for students to upload assignments, forums, access to email, a calendar you can update with due dates, a gradebook, a place to organize notes/videos for classes, and an announcement section. Classes a teacher is teacher and that a student is attending each semester will be displayed on the main page and are accessible from a dropdown menu. There's also the ability to have online tests done in a locked down browser to minimize cheating and you can connect to Collaborate for live class sessions. Teachers and other administrators can also view their classes from "student view" to see how it will look on the students' end.

Cons

  • Setting up tests and forum posts can be finicky, and sometimes fail altogether. Once in the system, there shouldn't be any major issues with signing in, but new users is another story. Those just setting up an account can expect to potentially be locked out of Brightspace for days at best or weeks at worse when first being brought into the system. At the start of the semester, classes may not all load and how past semesters are displayed can also be glitch, displaying the wrong time period or hiding current classes. Forum posts sometimes will display for some or none of the students despite the teacher doing everything right on their end, and odd things like changing the deadline by a few days for a post sometimes fix these issues for no apparent reason. Emails are also flakey. Some semesters, it's more reliant than the main school email system, some times it's not. There's never any way of knowing until the semester has already begun.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It gets integrated directly with Google Calendar, meet and other google application for seamless usability. - It has a great user interface which is clean and easy to navigate. - All the important class notification gets displayed at one place. - It lets you share documents and other resources with other members of the classroom.
  • I liked the ability to community quickly with students and assign work to the class as a whole. This made grading assignments easy and individualized for each student. Students can even comment and interact with each other if the teacher allows.
  • - Student of lower classes can use it easily. - Google workspace for grading and exam scheduling. - Supports Google eco-system - You can use all Google products within it.
  • I have been using for teaching student who can not visit me. There are plenty of tools to optimism the study. Teacher can control what participant can do and access. You can upload assignment and grade on the substitution as well.
  • Google Classroom has made managing classes lot easier for educational institutes, specially during pandemic days. As a Coordinator it was super easy for me to align teachers and students for virtual classes through Google Classroom.

Cons

  • - The advance features like creating quizzes and polls does not function properly.
  • At this time I do not have any cons with Google Classroom as it was a great set up for my needs.
  • For kindergarteners we need paternal presence. Improvements in grading systems is needed.
  • Compared to offline modes of study it is way better than all available resource.
  • Good application to be used through bigger screens but not a user friendly UI on small devices like mobiles and tabs.
