Since Google Classroom was released in August of this school year, it has been a huge hit with teachers...read this previous post to see why. But what about our students? After all, they are the ones using this to turn in assignments and collaborate on their school work. I recently asked high school students using Google Classroom in a few classes to email me feedback as to why they like/dislike Google Classroom. To date, I have no dislikes, which I think is a testament to the seamless and ease Google Classroom presents to teachers and especially students using it in their classrooms.
Here are what a few of our high school students have to say about Google Classroom:
"I really like using google classroom because I am one to accidently misplace my papers and having everything online and easily sorted makes it easier for me to make sure all of my assignments get turned in on time." ~Stephanie, HS Student
"I overall love Google Classroom. It's helpful to have the dates and times that the papers and assignments are due by. It helps keep me uber-organized and on track every day. If you finish and turn in an assignment, it doesn't keep bugging you about it, which is great. I love how you can add private comments to your teacher. Also, I appreciate how Google Classroom shows you a list of your fellow classmates so you know who is also using the same Classroom as you. And the "announcement" box on the front page is cool!" ~Megan, HS Student
"I think Google Classroom is a great tool for submitting homework. It helps me stay more organized since all the assignments are clearly laid out. It also is a more efficient way to submit homework. I also like how announcements are posted on it. It allows information to get out fast which is very helpful. Everything about Google Classroom is great except one minor thing. After submitting a document, I am not able to copy and paste what I wrote. This makes it hard for writing papers because if I want to copy and paste what I previously wrote into a final document, I have to un-submit it, which shows that I turned it in late. But overall, I like using Google Classroom and think more teachers should use it." ~Elise, HS Student
"What I like about Goggle Classroom is that it allows you to easily type up paragraphs, and turn them in without the hassle. You don't have to print the entire paper out, try to set up a pesky folder on Google docs, or download it on a flash drive. I also like how my teacher can easily edit my work, and return it to my so that I can edit it fast and quick." ~Seth, HS Student
