Google classroom is very versatile and easy to navigate for all who are brand new to it. Both teachers and students can manage multiple classes on their Google Classroom account by gaining access to each class through a special class code. This platform comes with many useful features for online-teaching such as video chatting called “Google Meet”.

Teachers are able to create assignments, quizzes, topics, and questions. The best part is that all of these features come with a lot of modification and editing abilities that make them perfect and customizable to every classroom and student. The entire layout of Google Classroom is very organized and simple.
