A great platform for managing online education system..
Overall, I love to use this software as my daily driver. It saves my time & helps me to manage my studies in this pandemic effectively.
PROSThis software has almost everything that is required to conduct the course online. Our faculties can do Assigning courses, assignments, quizzes, share their class notes & attachments easily on this software. It has a great notification system for smartphones thus student doesn't miss out any important topic. It can also integrate many features from google service & our lecturer love this media more than other available alternatives. It has a clean UI & I love it personally.
CONSI don't find any cons for this software. But the software would be self-sufficient if it integrates a group calling feature for conducting classes like the Microsoft team.
Reason for choosing Google Classroom
Microsoft Teams has a complicated interface. It's hard to find the attachment files from different courses in that software. The classroom is more optimized & has a clean interface. More importantly, it's so organized that we don't miss the calling feature of the Microsoft team.

Google Classroom- No constraint in Learning
Google Classroom helps to collaborate teachers & Students in the most crucial situation like COVID. It is most used medium for education and most importantly it is available at free of cost
PROSIt helps to collaborate with people from anywhere through the internet. It is cloud based LMS solution so I use classroom without installing any dedicated application on my mobile. It is integrated with Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides. And Gdrive provide dedicated folder for Classroom where the files are store so it helps me to find the files easily.
CONSInitially when large number of people joins the meeting, the application becomes unresponsive & it lags.

Google Classroom Lacks Many Features
In a pinch, with online learning during the pandemic, Google Classroom has given us a way to communicate with students and assign/collect student work. It is relatively easy to learn to use given time to adjust to this type of platform. However, there are features that it lacks - grade transfer to grading programs, ease of duplicating AND scheduling work at the same time for multiple classes to name a couple.
PROSIt is relatively easy to set up a class and invite students to join. You will likely need to watch a tutorial first, but after that, it is pretty straightforward. I like that it time-stamps submitted work. you know exactly the time a student turned something in. The ability to ask a simple multiple-choice question (I only gave the option of one answer - the word "here:)makes it easy to have students check-in for attendance purposes.
CONSThere is no easy way to transfer scores from Google Classroom to our grading system. There are no built-in comments when responding to student work. You cannot create assignments that can be both scheduled and added to multiple classes at the same time. For example, I have 3 sections of Geometry. I have to create an assignment and schedule for one class, then share and redo the scheduling for each of the other 2 classes. There is no way to hide old assignments so that students can't go back several weeks and try to submit old/late work, particularly at the end of each marking period. I don't like the fact that many educators have already asked for some of the features I feel are lacking, and yet updates have not been made.

First Place I tell students to go.
Overall I really enjoy using Google Classroom. Rather than having to maintain a website where students from a variety of class go to then have to navigate their way to info I want them to have, with Google Classroom everything is tailored to the class students are enrolled in and I don't have to worry about turning on and off the visibility of items each marking period.
PROSGoogle Classroom has replaced my teacher website, my homework help page, and even the "what did I miss" file folder in my classroom. I can get any information to students I need to via the stream, all classwork is published in that section, so they have access to and they know to look there if they missed days to find any work. Its integration with Google Meets means even if a student is absent they have an easy way to participate virtually.
CONSThere are still some bugs with the SIS Export in the Gradebook, but they are getting better each year. Currently scores export, but aren't categorized correctly which is a small annoyance, but an easy fix.

Google Classroom : An easy tool for effective learning.
Google Classroom helps in improving Educational Collaboration, Efficiency, and Participation.
PROSGoogle Classroom is useful for global or online education since it allows both instructors and pupils to engage with one another. The greatest benefit is the fact it is flawlessly synced with all of Google Workspace's other productive programmes such as calendar, Gmail, and so on.
CONSThere is nothing to dislike regarding this platform, except that its file uploading feature frequently take longer time. Nonetheless, I had a positive experience as a whole using Google Classroom.

Google Classroom : An online educational tool for everyone to create, meet and learn
It allows for extremely simple management of teachers and students; I would say the user interface and its usage are pretty easy.
PROSI like how basic this software is; it has a simple UI with no complexity. Accessing the classes is simple; anyone may quickly join the selected Classroom by utilizing a link or code.
CONSIt would be great if it allowed the study material to be organized with different filters, uploaded date, importance or level of complexity, apart from this I can't think of anything else I don't like.

The best classroom management that is available yet.
Overall it is the best platform that is available now for online learning. All the online courses that i have enrolled use google classroom. Infact during the covid all the schools were using google classroom for their classes.
PROSGoogle Classroom is user friendly for both teachers and students. As it is a google product you can seamlessly integrate with drive and google meet. The most used feature is the assignment submission. While I was enrolled in a class this feature was so easy. The assignment that is due will appear in your classroom and all you need to do is upload your file. Also providing announcement is very much easier. One post will be enough for the whole classroom. Also the mobile app support is helpful too. You can access everything through the application.
CONSThere could have been more customization features such as creating themes and making personal branding for the classes. Another feature that could be added is creating and executing tests. Instead of using google forms, a feature can be included to create live quizzes and tests through google classroom.

Google Classroom from the middle school lens
Google Classroom provides a platform that is easily assessable to students from wherever they are using whatever device they have access too.
CONSParents do not have a platform that they can see the curriculum and grades posted, unless they login to their child's account. Other than "Google Guardian" - which is helpful, but I feel like could grow.

My Google Classroom
We teachers, who were not all born in the digital age, have had a harder time adapting to new technologies, to understand a whole new language. The Covid 19 pandemic has forced us to conduct classes online. For effective communication with the students, I turned to Google Classroom, and from that moment I used it for various projects, courses, etc.
PROSVirtual classrooms, great for organizing courses and educational materials, posting assignments, communicating effectively with students. Google Classroom is easy to use even by very young school age students, the students I work with.
CONSI have nothing to object to. Google Classroom is always improving

Google Classroom for the Digital Educator
My overall experience has been very positive. It's made facilitating classes much easier, and has allowed students to do more work when it's the best timing for them. In our specialized school we deal with a lot of absenteeism, and Classroom helps to manage that issue much better than what I was using before.
PROSI like that it is compatible with the Google Suite software. I can make an assignment for students on Classroom, then link any materials needed for the assignment that may be saved in my Drive or Docs. I can create digital assignments and assessments using Docs and Forms, and attach any materials or spreadsheets. It's easy to add links or videos to assignments as well. There are also many Add-Ons that compliment Classroom making it easier to facilitate. Students like that it is all digital and they can access everything they need from where ever they might be.
CONSI don't like that grading doesn't carry over to the Classroom Grading area from assessments or assignments made using Google Forms if you attach anything to the assignment in addition to the Form.
Reason for choosing Google Classroom
Classroom is relatively simple and easy to use. The compatibility across the GSuite apps is unmatched in educational software.
Reasons for switching to Google Classroom
We ran into many function issues with Schoology. Students have a lot of sign in problems and we had other technical difficulties which turned us off of it. We stopped using it altogether, but still wanted to be more digital. Google Classroom has been much easier and compatible to use.

Google Classroom is a must for today's classroom
I have been using Google Classroom in my middle and high school classrooms since its early beta stage. I can tell you with 6 different preps in a school day, this is a great way to keep myself and my students organized and on task.
PROSGoogle Classroom is a great platform to use for setting up your daily activities in the classroom. It is used to put out information to your students, allows for collaboration as students complete their assignments, and allows for easy assignment submission. Although not a full course management systems - it operates as and contains the major functions of one in an easy to use format. Works across all platforms, especially great with the Google environment for Chromebooks that seem to be the device of choice in many school districts.
CONSGoogle is updating their software frequently - which is good, but sometimes the changes are not announced ahead of time or in a way that prepares you or the student in advance to the change.
Reasons for switching to Google Classroom

The most effective platform for effective E-learning
I am very much please with this platform. It has made my online teaching very much effective and efficient. It has also allowed me to portray my expertise in organizing lessons and course contents.
PROSCreating assignments, taking exams, sharing announcements, reaching out to students individually, storage of student assignment files in the linked Google account in well-structured manner, sharing of Google forms or links to resources from external sources help make educating students very efficient. Above all, it's free!! And who will not like a free utility with so many useful features.
CONSThe rubrics feature is limited to a very small number of student scripts/reports per assignment. Also, there should be an option to share audio as well.
Reason for choosing Google Classroom
It is linked to any of Gmail account that you own. Furthermore, no subscription is required for the majority of the features it provides free-of-cost.

A Review about Google Classroom of a University Education Student
What I like the most about this application or website is how easy for us to use as a student and as a teacher, since I am able to navigate it as a teacher sometimes as a part of our activity before in a course that is related to educational technology. It has a beginner friendly interface that is why even those people who are not that tech-savvy can actually handle it. Since I also know professors that are even already seniors but having no problem using google classroom. Also, I like how google classroom is integrated with different google software that help us a student to survive in our study. There is this google calendar that helps us to manage our time, google email which helps us to get reminded about specific announcements, google drive where we store our documents and by just sharing its link to google classroom helps us pass requirements, and many more! Lastly, having an access to this application for both mobile and laptops are helpful too!
CONSActually, google classroom is almost perfect application for me. However, I think there are some features that they may add so that the learning experiences of students and the teaching experiences of teachers will be seamless. First recommendation is that they should have something like in Canva which shows the students their progress in the course like maybe a percentage. Lastly, there should be also a tab where we can see the overall grades in the course since we students are in need to read back everything just to keep track of our grades.

The Perfect Classroom Aide
Google Classroom is a wonderful way to distribute writing assignments to my whole class and comes complete with spell check to make the editing process all the easier for my learning writers. I express particular gratitude for the speech-to-text feature that I know I will be using for a long time to come.
PROSOne of the many reasons why I enjoy and regularly use Google Classroom is that I can assign tasks and prompts - whether it be a simple question for my students to respond to or an essay prompt - and have all my students be able to see such assignments and complete them. Everything is automatically saved so the occasional (and inevitable) “select all, delete all” disaster can easily be fixed, even if the student logs out and back in. The “Restore previous versions” feature has saved many an essay from being lost forever. My students can write, edit, and turn in completed work. I can also monitor their progress and leave notes of guidance. Students can also join more than one “class” which is exceptionally helpful as an RSP teacher. My students can see and complete written work from both their home-room and my resource class. One particular feature has truly saved several of my students who have difficulty writing, spelling, and typing and have thus turned in incomplete and lacking work in the past. But with the speech-to-text microphone feature, my students can verbally “write” their responses and not fixate on poor spelling or get frustrated about how slow they type. They can easily express their ideas in a hassle-free way.
CONSThe features I use and the mechanics that run them all work fine. My students and I don’t get too complex or try to push any limits so no real con has presented itself.
