How To Get Google Classroom On Iphone

Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profits, and anyone with a personal Google account. Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect—inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and stay organized.

Classroom is designed to help teachers create, collect, and grade assignments paperlessly, including time-saving features like the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google Document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organized.

Students can keep track of what's due on the Assignments page and begin working with just a click. Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback and grades right in Classroom.

With the mobile app for iOS, students and teachers can view their classes and communicate with their classmates in real time. Students can open their assignments and work on them right from their iPhone or iPad. Teachers can keep track of who has turned in work and grade the assignment - at school or on the go. Students and teachers receive notifications when they have new content in Classroom, so they are always up to date.

There are many benefits of using Classroom:

Easy to set up
Teachers can add students directly or share a code with their class to join. It takes just minutes to set up.

Saves time
The simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review, and grade assignments quickly, all in one place.

Improves organization
Students can see all of their assignments on an assignments page, and all class materials (e.g., documents, photos, and videos) are automatically filed into folders in Google Drive.

Enhances communication
Classroom allows teachers to send announcements and start class discussions instantly. Students can share resources with each other or provide answers to questions on the stream.

Secure
Like the rest of Google Workspace for Education services, Classroom contains no ads, never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes.

Necessary but hated

For the fact that it works sometimes how I need it to on my phone (My computer version ,aka the website, works better but sometimes I don't have my computer) I give it 2 stars. I can sometimes get everything I need without it crashing. But as a student who cares about her education and grades I need things to be turned in on time and have it look decent, The app version will glitch and I look at it on my computer and it will look like it was done on a phone .... if you know what I mean. Some teachers are a lot stricter with due dates and even with COVID I have a life, I still travel to cousins houses (we get tested often) for different reasons but sometimes I'll get a notification of my teacher posting something & I will be out of the house away from my computer and I need that done then and what has happened way to many times is said strict teacher will give me so many hours to complete said assignment. Then guess what... GOOGLE CLASSROOM DOSENT LIKE DATA. So guess who can't get that assignment in on time ... me. I've talked to the teacher about her crazy timed assignments during COVID and thank the one above that I don't have to have her class again but I need to have a easily loading and non-crashing app/ site to get my high school education on. Also there are NO notifications about when something is about to be due. Fix it pleasee!

Good but the updates are inconsistent and make the app hard to use.

I use Google classroom as that is what my school uses. However I have ran into so many issues that the app has just become plain annoying. For example my math teacher requires us to scan our work and turn it in via Google classroom. At first we were told to use an app called GeniusScan however the app wouldn't let me upload files from my iCloud drive so I used the built-in scanner instead. This worked fine until the newest update. In this update they took away the built-in scanner and now I have to go back to using Genius Scan. I do not have an issue with GeniusScan but I find it annoying that I have to switch what I am using all the time. Another issue that I have is the menus. This is my opinion however, I find the menus a little bit annoying and hard to use in some aspects. For example when you go to add an attachment to an assignment the menus are a bit confusing. What I want is consistent updates that I keep old features and add new useful features improve the app experience. I want to keep all features as they are what we are used to but I also want new features which maybe will improve the way we hand in work. My hope is that Google will see this review and improve their app based on customer feedback. These solutions could be fixed. It would take a while, but they could be fixed. And that is why I am writing this review. Thank you.

Has a lot of potential

I think this is a great tool for what it's designed to do. Does that mean it's the best tool out there? Well, not quite. It has a lot of potential to be something great, however, constant bugs among other things brings it down. I've been noticing that I can't edit an assignment from any device, except for my computer once an assignment has been released. This gets very frustrating when, as a teacher, I need to add a couple quick pictures to my assignment from my phone, and I'm bot allowed to. I'm constantly told that since it was originally scheduled, it's past the assigned date, and I need to take off the scheduling, so I do. However, once I do that, it always tells me that something went wrong, and I can't save the edited assignment. This happened to me today, and while it doesn't usually bother me too much, it was beyond frustrating and stressful. My school suddenly shut down today so many students didn't have any materials at home such as textbooks. I took some pictures, and was trying to upload them during my lesson, but I have to teach 5 different grade levels simultaneously. You can imagine my stress levels when I had 5 different grades asking for help in math at the same time while I was trying to figure out how to get my pictures posted as quickly as possible.

Again, I think this app has a lot of potential, but it's not being nurtured like it could be.
