Google Classroom

With Google Classroom, you can create learning and practice assignments for performance assessments online in a paperless way, distribute them to students, and manage learning outcomes. Teachers simply distribute an assignment via a Google document through Google Classroom, and all students then work on the document simultaneously and collaboratively. So students work on the assignments on the computer - either as homework or in assigned work times during the school day - and can communicate electronically with the teacher if there are any problems or queries. Once completed, they submit the assignments electronically to the teacher.

Google developed Classroom with teachers to create a user-friendly tool for completing and managing assignments. This enables teachers to create lessons, assign practice tasks or tests to students, provide feedback - all in one place.

For schools, Google Classroom is particularly interesting in combination with other GSuite services such as Calendar, Hangouts and GMail. As a school, it makes sense to use not only Google Classroom but also GSuite for Education in its entirety.

GSuite for Education is a free offer from Google to schools and other educational institutions. Students and teachers get GSuite accounts, if desired GMail email addresses and access to all GSuite applications including Google Classroom.

In principle, GSuite can be run on all devices that have a browser. If you want to provide students and teachers with the same, simple, inexpensive and low-maintenance devices, Chromebooks are a good choice.

All important GSuite services are available:

• Google Drive for file storage
• Google Docs for (shared) editing of documents
• Google Classroom for handing out and collecting work assignments
• Google Hangouts for online distance learning
