1. HOW TO USE GOOGLE CLASSROOM FOR STUDENTS
Introduction
This article is about how Students can make good use of Google classroom. It contains all the steps needed
by the students to explore in Google Classroom.
Before we start, Google Classroom is one of the most efficient and simple ways to take learning online for
both in-class and remote studying. It’s free, uses the Google ecosystem of tools like Docs and Slides for
easy materials sharing, and helps simplify student work evaluation.
Google Classroom is an excellent tool for any classroom that frequently uses G Suite products like Google
Docs, Slides, or Sheets. The ability to create and manage assignments is the core component of Google
Classroom. After creating a document, teachers can assign a copy of it to students. If a teacher doesn’t
create a document beforehand, students can simply click a button to create one that’s linked to the
assignment. Upon completion, students turn in the assignment for grading. Teachers can also give
assignments that don’t have any attachments or documents. For example, they might provide students
with directions in text or a video to participate in a math warm-up on the board. Once a student has
completed the task, they can mark it as done.
Google Classroom takes on all of the organization. Folders are created in the teacher’s Google Drive for
each class, and each class has folders for each assignment. Teachers use this folder or the assignment
from within Google Classroom to check in on student progress before students turn in the document.
With all of this folder and document management handled automatically, educators have more time to
focus on students and teaching. Google Classroom also makes it easy to reuse assignments in future
classes.

CONCLUSION
Google Classroom is effective and best described as a good start. It’s intuitive, with plenty of genuinely
useful features for teachers and students, and could actually help to cut down on paper used in schools.
But it’s also not a robust tool to replace a full-featured learning management system. Google Classroom
is very useful in school to streamline assignments, boost collaboration, and foster communication. Google
Classroom is available on the web or by mobile app. You can use Google Classroom with many tools that
you already use, such as Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Calendar. Google Classroom provides a very
important feature for students, which is the organization. Students can access everything for their class
right at their fingertips with their technology device. This is designed to help keep students organized and
also eliminates the risk of losing worksheets or homework assignments.
