The Benefits of Google Classroom

Google has worked closely with teachers to understand the systems they use to simplify their workloads so they can get back to doing what they love: teaching!
Google Classroom was launched in 2014 to help teacherssave time, organize lessons, and improve communication with students.

What can teachers and students do with Classroom?
- Create and Collect Homework. Classroom combines Google Docs, Drive and Gmail to help teachers create and collect digital assignments. This way they can quickly see who has completed the work by providing real-time feedback to individual students.
- Improves classroom communications. Teachers can make announcements, ask questions, and comment on student work always in real time. This helps improve communication inside and outside the classroom.
- Keep organized. Classroom automatically creates Drive folders for each assignment and each student. Students can easily view what they need on the dedicated page within the app.
- Monitor progress. Teachers can share email summaries that show their students' progress in Classroom.
Google knows that it is critical to protect student privacy. Therefore, like the rest of the G Suite for Education services, Classroom contains no advertisements and never uses classroom content or student data for advertising purposes.
