The best platform to manage and facilitate training

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Google Classroom offers a convenient way to train my team, share training materials, and assignments to ensure everyone is prepared for an upcoming project. The idea of classroom, lessons, assignments, and a common platform makes everyone take the training seriously, unlike when we used Zoom or shared training files using emails.

Pros:

I like that Google classroom has a clean interface that makes it easy to use even for beginners. It has all the features required to facilitate learning, share notes, give assignments, provide feedback, attach important materials and track progress. I use it with my team to facilitate training and ensure everyone understands our future projects beforehand. I also like that the notification system keeps everyone on the same page.

Cons:

I sometimes experience problems when uploading documents from my phone. It requires stable internet for effective collaboration and learning. Adding an audio sharing feature would make the platform even better. I also wish there was a way to monitor and confirm that the team members are reading the relevant materials.

Google Classroom Features

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: I've been using it for more than 3 years and i never experienced this feeling of comforts during the time i was working. Its really an app/web that allows you to discover a new site full of features and different stuff.

Pros:

It's really good for all type of people to be honest. It's also easy to use. Very handy for people like students or someone who needs an app that allow them to work in full comfort.

Cons:

The only thing i didn't like about it was the fact that you can't leave a group if you aren't the one that created it. I would like to have a button for that issue.

I really loved my experience with this site, which lasted more than two years

3.0 10 months ago

Comments: It was a very good experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs the features that the site offers. For me, some of the flaws can be overlooked in light of the amount of features available, and it does not cost the person anything.
Everything is really organized perfectly

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

One of the Best Online School !!!

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Google Classroom has been largely positive. Google Classroom offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy for both educators and students to navigate and utilize its features. Also, the platform simplifies classroom management by providing tools for organizing assignments, facilitating communication, and managing student submissions.

Pros:

What I like most about Google Classroom is that it streamlines the management of classes by allowing teachers to digitally organize, distribute, and collect assignments and course materials. This reduces the administrative burden on teachers and keeps everything neatly organized and the integration with other Google tools, such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Meet.

Cons:

What I like least is just the inability to schedule assignments for multiple classes simultaneously.

Empowering Seamless Virtual Learning Experiences

4.0 11 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Google Classroom has been highly positive. It offers a seamless and intuitive platform for both educators and students to engage in virtual learning.

Pros:

The most impressive aspect of Google Classroom is its seamless integration of essential features like virtual classrooms, file sharing, and real-time communication tools, all within an intuitive and user-friendly platform. It promotes collaboration, engagement, and efficient teaching practices in a digital learning environment.

Cons:

While Google Classroom offers a robust set of features, one potential drawback is the limited customization options for educators in terms of grading and assessment. Some users may find the grading interface somewhat rigid and may desire more flexibility in tailoring assessments to their specific teaching methodologies.

Review of Google Classroom as a University Student

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: Overall, it's an amazing product and I highly recommend every educational institution to use Google Classroom for their virtual classes. I hope they add the direct chat feature so you can discuss important things with your teachers and classmates.

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.

My virtual classroom command center

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Google Classroom had been indispensible in conducting online learning and a mix of instruction. It has eased the giving and collection of assignments, improved the levels of communication between the teachers and their students, and developed a more organized and interesting learning environment.

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.

Best Virtual Set Up

5.0 8 months ago

Pros:

Being a mother to my kids, there are times that they are having an online class, and me as a parent, I don't have any trouble setting up the Google Classroom for my daughter, it is very user friendly. All the functions are easy to use. It doesn't give me a hard time everytime my daughter is having an online class and that's what I love about Google Classroom.

Cons:

The only problem I have encountered everytime my daughter uses Google Classroom is the network problems. Most of the time it shows that there is a network problem even though my internet has a strong connection. The network problem interrupts my daughter everytime she has an online class.

Review on Google Classroom

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: Although every technology has it.s own merits and demerits but if it is used wisely it is better for excellent output. So I advise and recommend for it.s use also as serious students along with their serious parents can be benefitted it.s utility at large.

Pros:

It is one of the most user-friendly, mobile-friendly, free-to-use, paperless app which enables teacher and learners to bring on a common technological platform. It also enables students to attend the classroom if they are away from class due to some reason from any remote place with very ease.

Cons:

There is a need for a smartphone with high data usage which is little bit of costly as far as students from rural and agricultural background is concerned. Although it is the best platform but connectivity, fast internet availability issue will be there. Again, it is difficult to monitor the usage of mobile by children if parents are not intervened for high usage as use will be more and students are addicted to the mobile. Apart from this students will not be more attentive as they close their camera and sit aside doing their own work.

The Google Classroom Review by an Experienced user

5.0 8 months ago

Pros:

Pros: If we look at Google Classroom from the perspective of a beginner, one of its best features is how simple it is to start. Just put the classroom code on your Google account to join class, and you are done. You are now in a class and can access all the study material that has been shared by the teachers there.

Cons:

Cons: I genuinely think there can be a better way to arrange everything on the website and app. It looks so messy sometimes when you have to find your class or some work-related document, and there is no way to find it out without looking at each and every section of the classroom, so I really think there should be a search option on there to make the files more accessible.

Google Classroom

5.0 last year

Comments: I have used it for more than 5 years. All my profs made Classrooms on Google Classroom to share lectures with us and communicate with us easily.

Pros:

What I liked most is the system where we can access all the lectures we need at any time and we can access the required assignments and know the deadline for submitting them. We can communicate with colleagues and teachers.

Cons:

Live meetings cannot be performed So we should use another app to meet.
