Google Classroom is digital learning management system that aims to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments, encourage collaboration between students and educators and also aims to create a paperless environment.
This next instalment in Google’s ever-growing repertoire was released in August 2014 on the Google App store. The various Google Classroom apps are also available for iOS and Android devices (for free) and to anyone with Google Apps for Education, a free suite of productivity tools including Gmail, Drive and Docs.
“Since launching, more than 30 million assignments have gone through Classroom”, noted Jorge Lugo, a software engineer on the Google for Education Classroom team in January 2015 on a Google blog post.
The biggest advantage seems to be in the improvement of educators’ workflow and therefore saving much-needed time. Classroom can be used by educators to create classrooms, post to classroom feeds, communicate with students, and view assignments.
Tutorials on Google Classroom can be found on the Educational Technology and Mobile Learning’s website.

Google Classroom is ‘n digitale platform wat spesialiseer in die bestuur van leer en onderig. Dit poog om die skep, versprei en nasien van werkstukke te vereenvoudig, samewerking tussen studente en opvoeders aan te moedig en ook om te streef na `n papierlose omgewing.
Hierdie volgende ontwikkeling in Google se ewig-groeiende portfolio is in Augustus 2014 vrygestel op – natuurlik – die Google toepassing-winkel. Die verskeie Google Classsroom toepassings is gratis beskikbaar vir enigeen met Google Apps for Education, `n gratis pakket van produktiwiteitshulpmiddele wat Gmail, Drive en Docs insluit.
Volgens Jorge Lugo, `n sagteware ingenieur wat in die Google Education-span, is meer as 30 miljoen werkstukke reeds sedert die bekendstelling, vier maande vroeer, verwerk.
Die grootste voordeel blyk die verbetering in opvoeders se werksvloei en die gepaardgaande tydbesparing, te wees. Dit kan gebruik word om virtuele klaskamers te skep, inskrywings op klaskamer-voere te plaas, te kommunikeer met studente en te kyk na werkstukke.
Tutoriale oor Google Classroom is beskikbaar op Educational Technology en Mobile Learning se webwerf.
