Google classroom is the Google’s free web service designed for schools to enhance teaching and learning. Centuries ago, teaching and learning happened in a traditional classroom setting. In those days, teachers and students would always come under one roof to share ideas using teaching aids such as whiteboards, markers, maps, notebooks, and so on. This type of education system is fast being replaced by modern technologies like Google classroom. Today, teachers and students don’t have to be in one place. With it, teachers, students, and parents can collaborate. The app is a tool that allows instant paperless communication. It gives teachers the ability to create classes, distribute assignments to students, send feedback and see everything in one place.

The app utilizes tools like Chromebooks to deliver contents to students. Google Chromebooks are cloud-based and as a result, allows students to learn from anywhere. Schools distribute these special laptops to students to enable them to gain access to their documents. Google classroom combines education apps – Docs, Sheets & Slides (for writing), Drive (for assignment creation and distribution), Google calendar (for scheduling) and Gmail (for communication). It has a dashboard to assist administrators to manage thousands of devices at the same time. With the app, you can train students in skills like teamwork and problem-solving.
