(1-4 of 4)Not a proper learning management system
- The system is relatively easy to begin with.
- It is integrated with Google Drive and Google Docs, which makes recycling relatively easy.
- It is platform-independent.
- It is relatively speedy.
- Tests and quizzes (in my experience) are primitive and do not allow modern testing techniques involving IRT.
- Recycling of materials is, at best, counterintuitive.
- Formation of subgroups is difficult.
In the system I am experienced with (as an instructor and an observing administrator), student users have too much control over their own accounts, so that it is sometimes not clear who particular students are or, indeed, if they are supposed to be in the class or not. For schools and internal training programs in which the identity of participants is known beforehand, almost any other learning management system would be a better choice.
For simple sharing of documents, primitive tests, and collecting information from and distributing information to people, Google Classroom is adequate.
- Familiarity of Google interfaces.
- Off-site computing.
- Off-site storage.

- It takes less effort to maintain than a real learning management system.
- Unless strict controls of numbers of submissions are imposed, homework management becomes difficult for groups of more than 4 or 5.
- The integrated mailing system is primitive.
Provided one has the servers to use it and an administrator to run it, Moodle is superior in nearly every respect, particularly security, testing, and analytics.
- Remote learning as a substitute for traditional in-person learning.
- Instructor and staff training.
- Document repository.
- Administrators are able to control some information for instructors without the instructors' knowledge.
- Students have made multiple accounts, inflating enrollment.
- Users are able to set interfaces to different languages.
- Locked student accounts.
- Materials distribution.
- Asynchronous meetings.

- Don't know
- I was not privy to implementation phases.
- The invitation system would be easy to use in some circumstances.
- Integration with other Google products is useful.
- The multiplicity of interface languages is useful.
- Reuse of Google Forms, the basis for tests, is cumbersome and counterintuitive.
- Attendance management is difficult because of the control users can have over their names.
- Testing, particularly with automated scoring beyond simple multiple choice, seems impossible.
Change it up with Google Classroom
- Provides an online space to organize student materials.
- Allows us to have multiple sections setup in one place.
- We can access Google Classroom on any network we are on.
- It feels like something is always changing as they improve Google Classroom.
- It would be great to be able to import grades straight into our grade book. We are able to download the grades, but then have to enter them by hand into the other program.
- Students are not able to make edits or quick changes on assignments once they are turned in unless they first grade book the assignment. It would be great to have a feature that allowed them to edit after it is turned in.

Love it
As the school librarian and permanent substitute, I use Google Classroom when I am substituting in the upper school. Frequently, it is used for substitutes because the learning outcomes and expectations are made clear with this platform.
- Ease of use (children are able to use it).
- Allows teacher to closely monitor students.
- Eliminates the need to bring home notebooks or books.
- Google Classroom does not integrate the calendar.
- No automatically graded quizzes or tests.
Parents who are weary of the Internet and electronics devices may not allow children to use it.

Google Classroom = Stress Free Teacher Life!
- I can organize individual assignments in a stream, similar to Facebook, and pin the assignments that are a priority to the top of this stream.
- It eliminates the, "I lost my homework" statements from students. They will always have the assignment, whether it is an essay, workhseet, documents to view, images, videos, etc.
- Google Classroom allows for an easy stream of communication about an assignment between the teacher and the students. I create a master assignment that I then push out to all students in Google Classroom. This allows me to pop into their work and see their progress and make comments as they are progressing.
- Google Classroom would be greately improved if a drop down menu was added that allowed assignments to be grouped under teacher created Units. Currently assignements are dispalyed in one long chronological stream.
- Google Classroom works great on a computer but the iPad app has missing functionality. For example, you can not sort students alphabetically on the iPad like you can on a computer.
- Currently, Google Classroom only shows the assignment as submitted late in the assignment feed. It would be greatly improved if it also included the date submitted.
- Increased homwork completion and comprehension.
- Eliminates lost or forgotton assignments.
- Better communication to parents of what assignments are assigned and when they are due.
