It is very effective because students improve their computer skills too.

What are the best aspects of this product?
The good thing about Google classroom is that you don’t need to waste time to learn how to use the program. It is very flexible, intuitive and easy to use. My students figured out how this program works in few minutes after logging in. If there was something unclear, we could easily find tutorials on how to do the thing. Google Classroom makes it easy with sharing documents and my students don’t forget to send their work to me so I can review it and grade it.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
To tell the truth, Google Classroom is not real Course Management System, it’s just a tool to use and share, because we as teachers cannot organize posts into units. I would like to see class website where I can share and pin important posts on top. Sometimes my students cannot open PDF file via their iPads, they do not have permission to view the file, but some students don’t have this kind of issue. It is strange. I wish I could see more detailed my student’s work, what they are doing and when, when they switch to GoogleDocs I can see every step they make when it comes to editing, working and sharing.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
GoogleClassroom helps me to organize documents by using automated folders and conventions, and I can never lose these documents. I love the benefit of using and sharing Google products.
