Teaching is definitely not the easiest job in the world, so any help the teachers can get is welcome. Google’s answer comes in the form of their new platform, Classroom, that empowers the teachers by taking the load of assignments off their back. According to their blog, Classroom allows teachers to:
- Create and collect assignments: Classroom weaves together Google Docs, Drive and Gmail to help teachers create and collect assignments paperlessly. They can quickly see who has or hasn’t completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback to individual students.
- Improve class communications: Teachers can make announcements, ask questions and comment with students in real time—improving communication inside and outside of class.
- Stay organized: Classroom automatically creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student. Students can easily see what’s due on their Assignments page.
And best of all, it is absolutely free. No data mining. No ads.
