It's Google so it's free and it seamlessly integrates with its suite of applications. It's also very intuitive.

Overall, I have had a great experience using google classroom for my students and would recommend it to other teachers and therapists.

Great ease of use for teachers, but could allow for better communication with students.

Its good to use and barring few limitations, its usually a great app. I recommend this app to every student and teacher.

What I dislike most about Google Classroom is every now and then certain users will have problems accessing the classrooms.

In general the application is fantastic, my experience has been very rewarding and I love it, I would not change it for other software.

I have used various platforms to manage academic and online courses, and this is one of the best out there. I find that it is a great alternative to others that may be more costly for institutions.

Once parents catch on, it is a great experience. The entire community can communicate and be on the same page.

Google classroom is the best and more effective application available for learning activities. I am impressed with this application it helps to do lots of tasks.

I do not dislike anything about the software. The only issue of have experienced is trouble logging in.

You can access it from all devices and no paper is needed anymore. It has all the features you need like Comment and Share, with effective online support.

Overall, I think Classroom is a great software that has helped professors and students in this time of Covid, it has a great interface and is very easy at the time of using it.

Overall, Google Classroom is amazing and I have found it very useful during distance learning. It is clear and easy for students and parents to navigate through.

Very difficult to set up and manage. Confusing as to what features are offered and where.

Best of all, it works seamless from mobile devices and the ability to create an assignment and make a copy for EACH student is invaluable.

We love that it is more than just a piece of paper, it makes learning not so fun things fun and interactive.

As good if not better than similar products that cost money.

Android application and also web platform sometimes crash, it is a bad experience for both user and admin.

Google Classroom is a great product that every high school should utilize. Their customer service is great.

In general, I think it's a great platform, It seems to me that price vs usefulness of Classroom is incredible.

Google Classroom makes it super simple to identify what assignments are outstanding, what assignments have been submitted, and what assignments are coming up.

The only major downside so far has been that it is difficult to get everyone caught up to speed because not everyone is tech-savvy on our team.

Google Classroom has been a very simple to use and low-cost (free!) solution for delivering my course content.

This is a great way to do a quick check. I also love the ability to connect to Sycamore which is what we use for grading.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Google Classroom, as it was consistently easy to use and accessible. At all times I felt I had a good overview over the course of many classes.

Huge fan of how it connects to google suite. Amazing that software is free.

One click of a button is all that's needy to make an announcement or send an email. The ability to post across multiple Classrooms really seals the bargain on this amazing product.

It certainly facilitates the work of teachers and students. Integration with other Google solutions is a great advantage.

Google Classroom is a cost effective tool to learn online.

Its take a while to understand how to use the software and sometimes if the wrong button is click you may be charged for audio through mobiles.

The main problem I felt was denying access from multiple domains.

I really like the ability to reuse assignments from different classes, as well as archived classes. The ability to assign something to multiple classes at once is awesome.

What I  liked most about this software was how easily accessible the classes  were  for me and how user friendly it was.

What I liked the most about this software is that it allows me to effectively communicate and share my assignments with my students.

I like how user friendly this software is, but I would love some upgraded features like other software have.

Allowing us to have the parents fill this out every day and then scan a QR Code to check compliance has been super easy and reassuring to families and staff that school is safe every day.

The software is really easy to use compared to other programs. It is very user friendly and you are able to access items quickly and with ease.

The designer of the program is always thinking ahead and working to improve the program.

At times it can have issues or problems when saving things or when sending out emails and it completely swipes everything out.

Easy to use compared to other options we have explored.

Parent Locker is a wonderful tool for managing the seemingly infinite amounts of data that we have to track in running our school.

It does exactly what it needs to. Clean and intuitive interface.

Excellent experience and outstanding customer support.

My overall experience has been great, I just wish there was a chat option to talk online to someone or more customer service help.

We don't use it for any other features currently but I am sure they are just as easy to use and manage. This app saved my sanity and was so worth the money.

Certain administrative tasks need to be carried out on their side. I feel guilty about contacting them for something simple that I feel that I can do, but they do not mind doing whatever the task is.

We're happy with its features and integration with other platforms.

We did not find any aspects of the software that were difficult to use.

I love that it's so user-friendly for our parents. The design and ease to find information are clear and have a friendly 'feel.

ParentLocker is very powerful, easy to use, and fits our needs exactly.

Setting up registration ... confusing when adding text boxes etc.

We are excited to integrate ParentLocker with FACTS for our tuition contracts for this year and to roll out the other new features when we return to school.

There customer support is not to be believed - we have never had a vendor that was this personal and responsive. They know our staff by name, and are extremely responsive.

The customer service team is very responsive, and has even tweaked some of it's products to make the system better for us.

Although many of the features we needed were already anticipated, the team at Parent Locker was quick to customize our needs. The greatest thing about Parent Locker is the ease of use.

It was also great that the teachers were able to use the app to see which students were cleared to enter the building with the click of a button.

We were able to roll it out in a very short period of time and have been up and running. The low learning curve is one of its greatest assets.

It has been great using parent locker. Having so many options and tools at my fingertips is a great benefit when we are busy and teaching throughout the day.

When you login to the website through a browser on the phone, it is unclear where to go for the screening.

We've been so happy with their product and their responsiveness to our needs, we still can't quite believe we have such a great product at that price.

Parent Locker works well for our school and helps integrate every component of education management.

Also, setting up forms for families to fill out, so the information flows into the database, can be a little difficult.

It does not contain many features that other software programs for schools do have, but even though it is missing features.

We were able to implement this new product specifically for Daily Health screening during COVID. It was easy to implement, use and I've been impressed by the range of options available.

Overall I really enjoyed using this software. I would recommend this software to anyone.
