Google Classroom<\/a><\/em> 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.<\/p>\n This next instalment in Google’s ever-growing repertoire\u00a0was released in August 2014 on the Google App store. The various Google Classroom<\/em> apps\u00a0\u00a0are also available for iOS and Android devices (for free) and\u00a0to anyone with Google Apps for Education, a free suite of productivity tools including Gmail, Drive and Docs.<\/p>\n “Since launching, more than 30 million assignments have gone through Classroom”<\/em>, noted Jorge Lugo, a software engineer on the Google for Education Classroom<\/em> team in January 2015 on a Google blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n The biggest advantage seems to be in the improvement of educators’ workflow and therefore saving much-needed time. Classroom<\/em>\u00a0can be used by educators to\u00a0create classrooms, post to classroom feeds, communicate with students, and view assignments.<\/p>\n Tutorials on Google Classroom<\/em> can be found on the Educational Technology and Mobile Learning’s website.<\/a><\/p>\n
