Is user-friendly, stable, and easy to setup
Pros and Cons
  • "When a teacher uploads material, all students connected to that class will receive the same information at the same time. I have found this to be a valuable feature. I also like that the material remains in Google Classroom until the teacher removes it. The UI is user-friendly, and you don't have to have prior experience to use the solution."
  • "I would like to see a master list of documents with folder names so that it is more convenient for students to know whether they have submitted a particular document. At present, you need to go to each classroom to check what you have submitted."

What is our primary use case?

Our teachers use it to give us assignments. During the lockdown, they also uploaded exams so that we could answer the questions while on camera with Google Meet.

We had about 70 students use this solution in our classroom.

  • "This solution integrates with all the other Google apps including Google Calendar and Google Docs, which makes it very easy to manage."
  • "It would be useful if this solution had its own online teaching platform with an integration with a Google video conferencing tool."
  • "We have previously used Moodle which is an overall better solution than Google Classroom."

What is most valuable?

This solution integrates with all the other Google apps including Google Calendar and Google Docs. This makes it very easy to manage. 

What needs improvement?

It would be useful if this solution had its own online teaching platform with an integration with a Google video conferencing tool. We would also like to have access to a quiz-making or exam-making tool such as that found in Moodle. We would like to be able to create a pool of questions that can be randomly pulled to create different assessments for each student. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. We have 15 to 20 faculty members and 400 students using this solution. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have previously used Moodle which is an overall better solution than Google Classroom. However, Moodle does have some limitations including requiring a server and other resources. Google classroom operates using Google Cloud for free and there is no hardware needed.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. 

What other advice do I have?

Some users of Google Classroom who do not have technical skills may find implementing and using this solution quite challenging. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Helpful training modules, reliable, and beneficial student communication
Pros and Cons
  • "What I liked most about Google Classroom is it was very easy to communicate with the students and simple for me to learn even though it was the first time I was using it. I was able to learn the features very well by navigating through the different discussions forums and becoming proficient, not necessarily a master but knowledgeable in using the solution. The ease of use was the best feature."
  • "What I liked most about Google Classroom was that it was very easy to communicate with the students and simple for me to learn even though it was my first time using it."
  • "Students used to have points that were accumulated and the letter grades, such as A's, B's, C's, et cetera. Google Classroom should add a feature by which you can toggle in between both of them. It's more than only accumulated points, which are not going to mean that much for students unless there's a prize at the end or some type of reward for the effort. However, if there's a way to toggle in between allocating points versus allocating a grade, it would be nice."
  • "Students used to have points that were accumulated and the letter grades, such as A's, B's, C's, et cetera. Google Classroom should add a feature by which you can toggle in between both of them."

What is our primary use case?

Google Classroom is a learning management system. The features I used most was introducing myself in the main forum and providing assignments to the classroom. It was very good in terms of getting messages out quickly and uploading certain documents that were instrumental for the students' lessons. They were able to receive feedback as well as provide messages to me. If I needed to send a message to a student individually, I was able to do that very easily, and grade whatever assignments they submitted.

How has it helped my organization?

I can't address how it improved the organization and this was the only platform I used. I can say that the training and onboarding was simple and seamless.

What is most valuable?

What I liked most about Google Classroom was that it was very easy to communicate with the students and simple for me to learn even though it was my first time using it. I was able to learn the features very well by navigating through different discussion forums and becoming proficient in using the solutions. Ease of use was the best feature.

Some platforms are for more sophisticated users and may not be easy for novice users to understand or navigate. Ease of use is a very important aspect when teaching young children. If you lose their focus early on, it's very hard to get it back.

The ability to upload certain things instrumental for my class and lessons was also very valuable. Additionally, it was very simple to assign points to the students.

What needs improvement?

Students are used to having accumulated points and letter grades. Google Classroom should add a feature by which you can toggle in between points and letter grades. Accumulated points mean less than letter grades unless there's a prize or reward for most accumulated points. However, it would be nice if there's a way to toggle between allocating points and allocating grades.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used Google Classroom intermittently. The first time I used it was to teach young children for a period of a quarter. It was during a teaching rotation since we were doing everything virtually because of the pandemic and the people that managed the process had been looking at various online and onboarding classroom settings solutions. They decided Google Classroom was the best venue for that. 

I have used Google Classroom for approximately one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Google Classroom was reliable in my usage. I did not have any glitches or any issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I had a class of approximately 20 students that could use Google Classroom at one time. I never had any problems with my students using the solution, it ran smoothly.

I was using the solution twice a week.

How are customer service and support?

I did not contact the technical support from Google Classroom. I did have a few training modules that were helpful.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used Microsoft Teams. It was good but Google Classroom was more reliable with fewer glitches and issues.

How was the initial setup?

The organization was the main user of Google Classroom and they would add us (volunteer teachers) onto their platform. I was not involved in the implementation.

I do not think it was difficult for the organization to add me to the solution. We had a training session and they were supportive of any additional questions that we had, especially for people like myself who were using it for the first time. From my experience it was really easy to do. There was an important time when I needed to use Google Earth in one of my classes and it was very easy to do. Additionally, I had to provide Zoom information which was straightforward for the students to access and join me in the classroom.

I had one or two training sessions for approximately an hour each where someone with more experience in Google Classroom went through the features and gave examples on how to do X, Y, and Z. We were able to do a Google search if we had questions about other features we wanted to do and share that amongst each other. It was very easy for a first-time user to become acclimated to it.

What about the implementation team?

Not applicable.

What was our ROI?

Not applicable.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Not applicable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Not applicable.

What other advice do I have?

I would highly recommend Google Classroom. It's easy to access and use, which is a very strong feature. I can't emphasize that enough because one of the things I noticed, especially in this pandemic, is that everyone has different levels of expertise. Some people use the platform for the first time while others are gurus - there are ranges. To have a platform whereby those who are experienced and those who are new users are both comfortable with it speaks to the versatility of the platform.

I rate Google Classroom a nine out of ten.
