Google classroom

Google Classroom is a free web

service, developed by Google for
schools, that aims to simplify
creating, distributing, and grading
assignments in a paperless way. The
primary purpose of Google
Classroom is to streamline the
process of sharing files between
teachers and students.
Google Classroom combines Google
Drive for assignment creation and distribution, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for writing,
Gmail for communication, and Google Calendar for scheduling. Students can be invited to
join a class through a private code, or automatically imported from a school domain. Each
class creates a separate folder in the respective user's Drive, where the student can
submit work to be graded by a teacher. Mobile apps, available for iOS and Android
devices, let users take photos and attach to assignments, share files from other apps, and
access information offline. Teachers can monitor the progress for each student, and after
being graded, teachers can return work along with comments.

Google Classroom ties Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and Gmail
together to help educational institutions go to a paperless system. Google Calendar was
later integrated to help with assignment due dates, field trips, and class speakers.[9]
Students can be invited to classrooms through the institution's database, through a private
code that can then be added in the student's user interface or automatically imported from
a school domain. Each class created with Google Classroom creates a separate folder in
the respective user's Google Drive, where the student can submit work to be graded by a
teacher.
