The ease of use with this software makes this one my favorite tech tool. Having a tool with few bugs and issues that lets us quickly have a fluid user interface with our slide decks and Google Docs is so important. Google Classroom does that for me, and I don't have to worry about an expensive tool that possibly doesn't interact with my other tools, so the value and user-friendliness for our teacher dollars is key. > > **Cons**: I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this tech tool at this time. I imagine that as more tools are used in classrooms that need to be intergratable I will run into some issues. > > Overall, Google Classroom has been a great tool for my classes, be it a class that I teach or a class that I am completing. I honestly don't think I have used it to it's fullest. ----- ### "Googles Classroom" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *6 June 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use and one can set up the grading scale how they would like it. The options are very simple. > > **Cons**: It sometimes crashes when I have been inputting too much information. The it’s speed is not always the fastest > > It is simple and can be adjusted to fit the applicable needs of a classroom and is able to merge into some of our existing applications for school ----- ### "Google Classroom: It's Worth a Try" — 5.0/5 > **Marci** | *25 September 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy Google Classroom is to use. Creation is simple, assigning tasks is simple, and you can push it out to students with no delay. > > **Cons**: There are times I'd like to customize the way assignments are pushed out a little deeper than allowed, but for the price we pay - nothing - it's easy to find a workaround. > > I've used Google Classroom as both a teacher and an end user for over seven years. It's my go-to for online work, giving both staff and students the flexibility to work on their own at a time that works for them. ----- ### "Great in theory, awful for actual classroom use." — 2.0/5 > **Meg** | *20 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easily I can link it to Google Docs and how I can store feedback comments. > > **Cons**: The ways in which to organize content is greatly lacking. The gradebook glitches and there are minimal ways to grade/label content that has been submitted. > > Awful. Parents can't see grades. Students get confused about where to find content. It doesn't automatically make a copy of docs for students. ----- ### "User friendly learning platform" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 July 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Insightful and easy to use interface for both teacher and student. Collaboration feature with Google Drive, Slides or Meet is smooth. Also it allows easy submission and creation of assignments or tests. It is worth every penny. > > **Cons**: It has limited layouts and custom options for courses, also only provide basic features for data analysis. Found issue connecting with customer support at times. > > I have used Google classroom as both teacher and student and I rarely found ay bug or issue while using it. It's user friendly interface ever intimidated me but yes It's customer support need to improve a little. Although it is providing great service in education as it is free or takes negligible fee for education. ----- Page: 1 / 118\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/186631/google-classroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/186631/google-classroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
