What is Google Classroom?
Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profit organisations and anyone with a personal Google account. Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect – inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate and stay organised. Classroom is designed to help teachers create, collect and mark assignments paperlessly, including time-saving features such as the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organised.

Easy to Use, but Nothing Novel

What differentiates Google Classroom from other similar products?
The ease of integrating Google Suite products into Google Classroom is the only differentiating feature that caused us to make the switch from some of the other traditional LMS options. (We've used Canvas and Schoology previously.)
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Google Classroom automatically makes a copy of my Google Docs for participant use. Other LMS products run the risk of having a student change the original Google Doc instead of making a copy, which was frustrating for all other students and the instructor.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I don't receive notifications when an assignment is turned in. I have to manually check for assignment submissions.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are a heavy Google Suite user, Google Classroom is a natural option for consideration, as long as you are not looking for an innovative LMS. However, in my extensive experience, no LMS is innovative outside the non-traditional HeadRush. (HeadRush requires schools to buy into the system, and most schools already have another dedicated LMS.) My educational consulting firm works with schools and districts worldwide, so we need an accepted option outside of HeadRush; otherwise, I would have gone with HeadRush, hands down.
Pros
- Reliable
- Respectful
- Security Protects
- Caring
Cons
- Inhibits Innovation
- Slower Product Innovation
- Commodity Features
