Google Classroom provides an online classroom environment that teachers can ‘blend’ with regular class activities.
You can use Classroom for sharing resources, submitting and evaluating class assignments, along with co-ordinating class discussions.
Classroom is available free for schools using Google Apps for Education, and is integrated with your Google Drive. (You don’t need a server, or any locally installed software to implement Classroom.)
Students and staff can access Google Classroom from any computer or tablet, at school or at home, providing an ideal platform for schools that have moved to BYOT.
