Google Classroom

I like Google Classroom a lot! Everything is kept organized and professional! It is easy to follow along. You can post assignments, quizzes, tests, and updates for the class! It makes grading easy for the teachers because they cannot receive many excuses about not turning in assignments. Teachers can give feedback to students on how they are doing in class and assignments. I would enjoy using this resource as a teacher because I can post all of the needed assignments in one spot.
