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.

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

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.

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.

Google Classroom is vital to education

5.0 last year

Comments: Google Classroom has become a lifesaver for my online teaching classes.

Pros:

Google Classroom is the most user friendly LMS programs I have used. The communication and assignment abilities is vital to educators. I also love the ability to quickly link videos and other websites into assignments and material. The integration of Google Drive has become the best feature.

Cons:

Nothing at this moment. One thing I would like to suggest is for a way for assignments to become "active" if a student completes a previous assignment higher than a specific grade.

Good software to host both live and recorded courses

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: So far I use Google Classroom as my number one solution for my team, although it lacks a bit in integration and communication features, it still presents an easy-to-use solution to host the training tracks.

Pros:

Turning live sessions into recorded courses was easy, managing the courses and adding material throughout the training track was straightforward and it was generally easy to manage the team's progress through the process.

Cons:

There was no way to interact directly inside Google Classrooms without integrations with Google Meet. Also, there is a lack of integration with other solutions from outside of the Google ecosystem.
