6 Reasons Why Google Classroom is a Great Tool for Teachers


 Exposure to an Online Learning Platform - Today, many colleges require students to take at least one
online class during the course of their degree work. In fact, if you get a master’s degree in education, some
of your coursework could be online. Unfortunately, many students have never had any experience with
online education. That is why you really want to make sure to give your students as much exposure to it as
possible at a young age. Google Classroom is an easy way to help students with this transition because it is
super user-friendly, making it a great intro to technology.
 Easy Access to Materials - Because everything is posted online, Google Classroom gives students access to
materials no matter where they are. Gone are the days of lost rubrics or worksheets. Students who are
absent can easily access classroom materials from home if necessary–this can really help save both you
and your students a lot of stress in the long run.
 Differentiation - Because you can set up many different classrooms, Google Classroom is a great tool for
differentiation. If you’re working on a concept in class and have groups working at two different levels,
simply create two different classes for that unit. That way you can better reach out to those who are
struggling with their own kind of work without making them feel bad. This can help you give out
assignments on a more individual basis and really reach out to certain students as well. You can even split
everyone into groups that you think they will be able to work the best in. Google Classroom is a great,
flexible way to ensure that every student gets just what they need, and you can easily delete and recreate
classes as you see fit.
 Less Paper - When used to run an entire class, Google Classroom can virtually get rid of paper
consumption. As long as students have access to the internet, all classwork can be handled online. This
means no copies and ultimately less money for your district.
 No Lost Work - Students can’t lose work if they don’t physically have it in their presence. Since they are
usually working in Google Drive, everything saves automatically and excuses dwindle. With a few short
lessons concerning how to properly use these online tools, students can experience more success getting
organized.
 Engagement - It’s been proven time and time again that students are engaged by technology. Google
Classroom can help students become and stay engaged in the learning process. If you have students

answer questions in Classroom, for example, other students can comment on these answers and deepen
thought for both students.
 Overall, using Google Classroom is definitely worthwhile. It can save you a lot of time and energy, and can
help you to better prepare your students for the future.

 Edmodo is a free Facebook-like learning management


system (LMS) that teachers can use to manage online
instruction. Teachers can create an account, classes, and
their first assignment or quiz within minutes and can invite
students and parents to join them via class code, email, or
handout. Once students join, they can see content,
manage deadlines, receive and submit assignments, and interact with the teacher and other classmates by
participating in activities and writing posts that include embedded files, links, and media. Teachers can see
all posts and can moderate content or put class members on read-only mode. Users can share documents,
links, video, and images using the drag-and-drop feature, integrating files from Google and Microsoft
accounts. Teachers can also use the Discover page to find apps, games, and student-focused news to add
to their assignments. Plus, the Reports feature allows teachers to track assignment completion and grades.
 Featured collections, such as the Distance Learning Collection, can be great time-savers for teachers who
want to up their level of virtual instruction without reinventing the wheel. Plus, there’s a robust
community of Edmodo users who are eager to share ideas with one another through multiple discussion
forums and groups, enhancing the site's educational quality and professional development (PD)
opportunities.
