This is a great, useful tool that every educator should use!

From the Teachers portal, you may create assignments, provide and link to reading materials, videos, and other resources. Even if you're not in the classroom, you can still provide your students with useful information. You can use Google Classroom to collect and grade their responses as well as their coursework submissions. Using the classroom's messaging tool, you can connect with your students both publicly and privately.

I love everything. Our students really appreciate that we use this tool in the whole school. It's easy to set up and work in it.

This has been a life saver in communications with parents too. When parents want to know how they can help their students better succeed I can refer them to the resources on Google Classroom. The product itself is also very intuitive. It's easy to figure out how to teach. Students have enjoyed using Google classroom. We've done some web searches where I'll create a template and list the links they need to visit. It's much easier for students to simply click a link rather than type it in. It allows for assignments to easily be turned in. Make sure to tell your students they MUST hit submit or you will not get their work! When students turn in late work, you also get an email letting you know it's been turned in so that you know to visit Classroom and grade the assignment. It can be annoying to get all those emails, but that's not a product problem, but rather a student turning in late work problem. I've really enjoyed using it in a variety of classroom settings (Language Arts, Health, and Debate).
