About this app

Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect—inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and stay organized.

There are many benefits to using Classroom:
• Easy to set up – Teachers can add students directly or share a code with their class to join. It takes just minutes to set up.
• Saves time – The simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review and mark assignments quickly, all in one place.
• Improves organization – Students can see all of their assignments on an assignments page, and all class materials (e.g., documents, photos, and videos) are automatically filed into folders in Google Drive.
• Enhances communication – Classroom allows teachers to send announcements and start class discussions instantly. Students can share resources with each other or provide answers to questions on the stream.
• Secure – Like the rest of Google Workspace for Education services, Classroom contains no ads, never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely awful app. almost never works. I have to use it for school and am constantly struggling to get work in because the APP WILL NOT WORK. GOOGLE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. edit: was writing a private comment to my teacher and accidentally closed out of the window to my home screen. gone. I had to rewrite the entire thing. last night I submitted an assignment at 4pm and checked it at midnight to find that while the files had attached they had not submitted properly.

It's good for school and stuff like that. But I feel like what would make it better is being able to pin classworks. For example: if you're trying to find a revision work that a teacher sets up but there are 35+ classworks uploaded, then it would waste time for the person to revise. But if we were able to pin classworks then it would be easier to find the work instead of going through so many of them.

Best I've seen but not great. You can't use a GIF as your background. There is lots of information that states GIF's can be used for Classroom customization, but this has been consistently inaccurate for me. Next, although you can get an average grade, but if you are teaching multiple subjects, there is no way to distinguish, for example, a Math grade from a Social Studies grade average. You can upload videos and other tools as well as assignments. Great compatibility with various platforms.
