Pupils can access and work on tasks without issue. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the way this is accessed through Hwb in Wales is awkward but the software itself is useful. > > A useful addition to support the teacher’s administration and organisation of a class’ work, especially homework. ----- ### "An excellent option when schools are closed" — 4.0/5 > **Emma** | *20 July 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Classroom offers great value for money as there is no cost and it is included with your G-suite. As with most Google products it is easy to use and set up, and quick to get going on. It is regularly used by both primary and secondary schools to offer remote learning when schools are closed due to various reasons, taking off during Covid19, providing student and teacher interaction. It's features allow classwork to be easily shared and completed by students who can work independently and collaboratively. > > **Cons**: Although Google Classroom is an excellent alternative for teachers and schools udring closures and does offer that remote face to face option, it can not replace a physical classroom where available, and can mean too much screentime for students. > > My overall experience with Google Classroom is a positive one, meaning children can continue to learn and get touch points with their teachers throughout adverse times. ----- ### "Google Classroom for the win\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ro** | *22 January 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Classroom is fantastic, it’s so very easy to use. Students can get in touch with their teacher with no problems. If there was any issues like bugs etc customer support is on it like a flash. There is also a lot of features and tools which are very handy. > > **Cons**: I can’t say a bad word about Google Classroom. It really is a great resource for students and tutors. > > Excellent, easy to navigate. Everything runs smoothly when I want it too. My kids have got on board with it and now start using it to speak with their teachers etc. ----- ### "A Student and Teacher Tool That's a Win Win" — 4.0/5 > **Teresa** | *4 September 2026* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an educator, having a tool that has so many features for student-teacher interaction makes Google Classroom one of my favorites. The ease of use with this software makes this one my favorite tech tool. Having a tool with few bugs and issues that lets us quickly have a fluid user interface with our slide decks and Google Docs is so important. Google Classroom does that for me, and I don't have to worry about an expensive tool that possibly doesn't interact with my other tools, so the value and user-friendliness for our teacher dollars is key. > > **Cons**: I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this tech tool at this time. I imagine that as more tools are used in classrooms that need to be intergratable I will run into some issues. > > Overall, Google Classroom has been a great tool for my classes, be it a class that I teach or a class that I am completing. I honestly don't think I have used it to it's fullest. ----- ### "A Practical LMS that Gets the Job Done" — 4.0/5 > **Tersen** | *27 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is clean and intuitive. Teachers can set up classes, post assignments, and organize materials quickly without a steep learning curve. Our school already utilizes Google Drive, Docs, etc. so it is a natural fit. You also cannot beat the price (free), which gives it a leg up on competitors. > > **Cons**: Its simplicity is also its biggest weakness. It is lacking in advanced functionality such as possessing a less robust gradebook and limited customization. > > Classroom is a streamlined platform that is ideal for schools looking for a free, easy to use LMS that is tied into Google's ecosystem. It is particularly strong for straightforward assignment management and basic student-teacher communication. However, if your needs include advanced analytics, rich built in interaction tools, or highly customizable workflows, Classroom may feel a bit limited. ----- Page: 1 / 118\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186631/google-classroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186631/google-classroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
