Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution integrates with all the other Google apps including Google Calendar and Google Docs. This makes it very easy to manage.""The most valuable features of Google Classroom are the meetings, mark book, and assignments.""The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is the ability to meet people and it is online.""Assigning a unique copy of Google Classroom to students and giving out information is what the solution excels at.""I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. It is very straightforward.""The product is easy to use.""Google Classroom is simple to use.""When a teacher uploads material, all students connected to that class will receive the same information at the same time. I have found this to be a valuable feature. I also like that the material remains in Google Classroom until the teacher removes it. The UI is user-friendly, and you don't have to have prior experience to use the solution."

Cons
"The product's UI needs improvement.""The product must provide different plans for different customers so that we can pay for only what we use.""There can often be language barriers when you're not dealing with local technical support, which can be challenging.""The stability of the product is an area with certain flaws where improvements are required.""The stability could be improved.""It would be helpful to add voice or audio capabilities to the classrooms instead of text only.""There are some websites where you can create activities and guide students to do them in a sequence. You can guide them to do an activity first and then go to the next one. You can automatically link activities, and there is a flow, but in Google Classroom, you don't have that feature. All you can do is put the material and tell students what to do. For example, I have an assignment, but I want my students to read a particular text before that. They need to tick it, or they need to click next before they start doing the activity. After that, I want them to do comprehension questions or something else. In Moodle, there are activities such as assignments, quizzes, etc. There is a lesson module in which you can put all of the activities in a flow. So, you can decide what they need to do first. If students answer a question incorrectly, you can decide and design to which page do they need to go next, and which part do they need to review. This is currently missing in Google Classroom.""It would be useful if this solution had its own online teaching platform with an integration with a Google video conferencing tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We are an educational institution, and it is free of charge for us. Normally, if you are a private company, you have to pay a lot of money to get this service, but they are giving it for free to schools."
  • "If you do a certain size and build, it's like any Google solution. You have to pay for storage, but you don't need to pay extra to use the interface. There may be Google Classroom partners that provide more integrated solutions, but I don't know. I'm strictly DIY."
  • "We did not need a license to use Google Classroom."
  • "I'm using a free version of Google Classroom, so it's a product I don't pay for."
  • "There are competitors that offer free solutions, making the price of Google Classroom high."
