May 13, 2026 5.0 Overall, Google classroom has been a very helpful addition to our school tools making submission and grading (even with comments) super easy! Pros Google Classroom has many useful features and options for teachers/students from assignments to announcements to discussion. Integrations to our Gradelink system makes it so teachers can grade in Classroom and it auto-transfers to our SIS. Extremely helpful! The process to return digital submissions can feel a little arduous but once learned is worth the extra step. Cons The assignment return process. It seems a bit much but is a necessary step to getting students their files back again. Review Source MS Mark S. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Googles Classroom" June 6, 2026 4.0 It is simple and can be adjusted to fit the applicable needs of a classroom and is able to merge into some of our existing applications for school Pros It is easy to use and one can set up the grading scale how they would like it. The options are very simple. Cons It sometimes crashes when I have been inputting too much information. The it’s speed is not always the fastest Alternatives considered [Gradelink](https://www.capterra.com/p/118900/Gradelink-SIS/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom We choose Google Classroom first and then purchased Gradelink to match it.

Students get confused about where to find content. It doesn't automatically make a copy of docs for students. Pros I love how easily I can link it to Google Docs and how I can store feedback comments. Cons The ways in which to organize content is greatly lacking. The gradebook glitches and there are minimal ways to grade/label content that has been submitted. Review Source ML Matthew L. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps with setting and assessing work." April 25, 2026 5.0 A useful addition to support the teacher’s administration and organisation of a class’ work, especially homework. Pros Ability to set tasks for pupils and view what they have done quickly and easily. Pupils can access and work on tasks without issue. Cons Sometimes the way this is accessed through Hwb in Wales is awkward but the software itself is useful. Alternatives considered [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom Ease of use with Google classroom in comparison to MS365.

It is particularly strong for straightforward assignment management and basic student-teacher communication. However, if your needs include advanced analytics, rich built in interaction tools, or highly customizable workflows, Classroom may feel a bit limited. Pros The interface is clean and intuitive. Teachers can set up classes, post assignments, and organize materials quickly without a steep learning curve. Our school already utilizes Google Drive, Docs, etc. so it is a natural fit. You also cannot beat the price (free), which gives it a leg up on competitors. Cons Its simplicity is also its biggest weakness. It is lacking in advanced functionality such as possessing a less robust gradebook and limited customization. Alternatives considered [Schoology](https://www.capterra.com/p/128481/Schoology/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom The cost at the time was much more conducive to what we needed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Teaching and Learning Platform " November 19, 2025 5.0 Pros Google Classroom is an excellent platform for classroom management and student teacher interaction. It integrates with a multitude of educational applications and has an easy to use interface. Cons Google Classroom currently has no whiteboard component for presentations or sharing notes. This feature may improve the student experience. Alternatives considered [ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom Google Classroom is easier for students to navigate with respect to accessing files and assignments. It also integrates easily with email. Review Source VF Victoria F. Teacher Candidate Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Google Classroom is a Helpful Online Tool for Classroom" April 4, 2025 5.0 Overall, Google Classroom is a great online tool to organize and release information. It is helpful for all the students to have an online copy, and keep track of what we did in class each day if they were absent. Pros The announcement tab is very streamline and is where my students get most of their information. The classwork tab is helpful to organize topics and units. Cons I don't like how hard it is to input marks for each student. I wish there was also a way to organize the people into groups as well for a group assignment online. (like the Canvas feature) Alternatives considered [Canvas](https://www.capterra.com/p/127214/CANVAS/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom Google classroom is more streamlined compared to Canvas, as more schoolboards use it as well.

The updates to the app have made them worse. Sometimes the app is a pain to use and more frustrating than anything else. Pros Love good classroom. Great for uploading and reviewing homework and updating students on events. Love the app. Cons Video uploads are terrible. After an update it has made sharing and viewing video uploads impossible. Reason for choosing Google Classroom I have experience with jackrabbit and how it works.

Even luddites find it useful. Pros Ease of use for parent, teachers and students alike-will change how you think about LMS because of it's ease of implementation. Cons Occasional glitches are annoying and can be disruptive to classes, but Google seems to be take guidance from teachers. Switched from [Moodle](https://www.capterra.com/p/80691/Moodle/) We were forced to use Google Classroom; I was reluctant to do it at first, but it's just as good and free! Review Source CB Chad B. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google Classroom Archive Downsides" February 8, 2025 5.0 It's seamless for when you use it, but I feel like it adds extra clutter to my workspace in the long run. I don't need things from 5 years ago in an archive. If I do go in to a class from years past, it just seems a big jumble of old classes. I wish I could nest them or something (similar to email folders). Maybe you can, but it doesn't seem intuitive. Pros I really like the ability to add kids to a class and send out one link and have everything covered. It cuts way down on communication with kids and parents. Most times I don't even send anything out; they know the classroom after they enter the verification code, and they can go to the page on their own to see what it is that I have added. Cons I don't like how it never deleted your old classes but instead archives them forever. You can hide them, but I'd like the ability to just delete them. Switched from [Wayground](https://www.capterra.com/p/207437/Quizizz/) Easier to figure out the interface and kids were already familiar wit it from other schools. Review Source JC Jessica C.

I find it super easy to communcate with student. Keeps material safe, and organized. Easy upload, easy access to google suite apps/links. Pros So much easier to use than Schoology. Easily connect to the Google Suite. Nothing you cant figure out on your own. Cons Comments feom other teachers classroom that flood my email.

It’s truly easy to use, adding classes, assignments, it’s easy to make quizzes, and of course integrated with everything Google. I really liked it! And it’s better than Blackboard. Pros It’s very user-friendly and it integrated with everything. Especially since so many schools are going a Google route, using Google classroom makes it super easy to use everything else, from Gmail to Google slides. And like everything Google does, it’s clear and consistent in style. Cons Personally, my school moved to Canvas and I like that better because it has more apps that you can use for it. However, I would not be upset if we went back to Google classroom, because it really is that easy to use. Review Source CB Chelsea B. Student E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google Classroom" April 8, 2025 4.0 I used Google classroom for many years on a daily basis and liked the platform. It made tracking assignments and grades simple and easy. Pros The program is very organized and simple to use. Cons The learning curve was difficult, as this was the first online classroom platform I had ever used. However, the platform was easy to navigate and learn. Review Source KL Kimberly L. Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Google Classroom: Great for the Tech Teacher" March 21, 2025 4.0 Pros Google Classroom has loads of integrations available with so many programs, and it's easy to set up to make it work with them. As a tech teacher, I rely on external web applications for most of my classes, and students can easily connect the apps to everything they need. Cons It's a bit rigid in what I can actually do with it. I can't get quite as much customization as I'd like. I teach in an International Baccalaureate school and it can be hard to use other kinds of grading rubrics with the existing system. Review Source CS Claire S. Employee Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google Classroom" December 3, 2025 5.0 Pros Google Classroom has user friendly dashboard that you can navigate fast. The student teacher interacts is simple and effective. As well as group discussions are a awesome way to communicate with classmates Cons Well using Google Classroom if you do not have a stable internet connection you may run into some issues about submitting assignments. Review Source CR Christopher R. Senior Lecturer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Revolutionizing Education Learning Management with Google Classroom." March 20, 2025 5.0 It's possible to communicate and collaborate with students using this platform. Pros It's simple to create online classes and training sessions with Google Classroom. Again, it's simple to create and distribute assignments to students with this tool. Ability to collect and mark student assignments paperlessly. Cons It depends on stable internet connectivity to deliver excellent performance. Review Source SW Stephanie W. Instructor E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for the money" October 29, 2025 4.0 Pros Great for the money. Had all the features we needed and easy to use once you get used to the interface. Not hard to learn. Cons The quiz is good but any little capital change in an answer the system says it is wrong. Somewhat easy fix, just annoying. Review Source FG Facundo G. Student E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google Classroom is an excellent extension of face-to-face classes" December 5, 2024 5.0 My overall experience was very satisfactory. I used the classroom throughout 2020 up to and including 2021. The first year, during the pandemic, we adapted super fast and we could have the classes in an interactive way and without latency, interface or platform errors. The second year we handed in the assignments and exams through the platform and it was much more optimized to see the grades and notes made by the teachers. It became an extension of face-to-face classes, so I really consider it a platform that is here to stay if it is well used in the classroom. Pros What I liked most about the Classroom was the ability to make submissions, being able to see those who submitted work on time from those who were late, and being able to facilitate many means of submission, such as written file formats and being able to add links or video extensions for work that included multimedia creation. It also made it easier to see the grades that teachers graded quickly and almost instantaneously, which was appreciated, compared to having to wait a week or two for teachers to return paper exams. Cons What I “least liked” could be said to be the constant notifications I received as a student from Google Classroom for any changes made by the teachers. Even when they made optional academic proposals, many times as students we received such notifications as if they were really urgent things. Also, sometimes when all the subjects were gathered in a single classroom, it could become a bit tiresome and tedious to search for files of previous activities. Review Source Francis M.

Kids Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Classroom Review" March 12, 2025 4.0 Pros Being able to track multiple classes and assignments, as well as utilize resources from teachers in each class. Cons Sometimes I forget to submit an assignment or "turn in" and it doesn't always notify or remind me. Review Source CTAS Cornelius Tian Andi S. Owner Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Classroom" April 14, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Google Classroom was pretty positive. It’s user-friendly, especially for organizing class materials and submitting assignments. Pros It's easy to track assignments, see due dates, and get feedback all in one place Cons The comment sections under assignments or in the stream can get messy, and it’s easy to miss updates if I am not checking frequently Review Source JT Jamie T. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Classroom" March 12, 2025 5.0 It has been easy to use since I started during covid shutdown Pros It is easy to keep track of projects, unfinished work and progress Cons There isn't anything I don't like about it Review Source RD Richard D. Managing Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Classroom Helps First Year College Students Develop their LMS Skills" January 22, 2025 4.0 Extremley positive experience and because we have Google Workspace for our company, it works seamlessly with the other Google Tools. Pros We use Google Classroom to manage our 3 week summer cohort experience. The goal is to provide tools and organization around the classroom setting we create for incoming first-year college students. It keeps the teaching team organized, and provides students with a simulated Learning Management System (LMS) so they start to understand what to expect from their professors at college. Cons It can be cumbersome to create a logical workflow.

Industrial Electricity Apprentice Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Experience with Google Classroom" November 8, 2024 5.0 On this platform, I submitted my school assignments, and I found it very easy to send my work through this medium. In my opinion, it has a great capacity for submitting various types of assignments. It notified me immediately when the teacher graded my work and provided feedback. Overall, I think it’s a very good platform for studying Pros It has impressive clarity for students to submit their assignments. It notifies you when the teacher receives the assignments and when your work is graded. It's very easy to attach files, and it has plenty of storage capacity Cons You must have an internet connection to access this platform, and sometimes there are privacy concerns since it’s easy for someone else to access your accounts Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
