Google has launched a program for students and teachers. Available on Google Apps for Education, the Google Classroom provides school teachers and students with a central hub to create, store, organize, and provide feedback for assignments.
Currently on beta, the service is available in select schools in the United States. This would allow teachers to create and collect “paperless” assignments, ask questions and comment with students in real time, and create Drive folders for each assignment and each student. Teachers can even keeps tabs on which student has yet to complete their assignment.
Aside from assignments, teachers and professors can also distribute projects, worksheets, and group work among others to students.
School mentors interested to try out the service can apply for a preview, but we recommend waiting it out until September when Google Classroom will be available to any school using Google Apps for Education.
