USING GOOGLE CLASSROOM SUCCESSFULLY: A CASE STUDY
USING GOOGLE CLASSROOM SUCCESSFULLY: A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: In a time of pandemic, during which everyone is forced to find solutions to fit the requirements of the new reality, teachers are obliged to adapt in order to continue their task in creating positive contexts for the development of their students. The paper is an analysis of my experience in online teaching using the Google Suite, and especially Google Classroom. After a brief description of the Google Suite, I look at the general view and attitude towards this online teaching tool across the world as well as the one observed locally both with my fellow teachers and with the students. Then, I describe my personal experience and offer feedback using the actual data provided by the tool, with explanations concerning the fluctuation of student involvement in different periods of time. I conclude that Google Classroom, despite its disadvantages, is a useful tool for several reasons, among which I mention the fact that it is very user friendly both for the teachers as well as the students and even for parents (in younger students‘ case), it contains a range of features that can be time-saving and it is free, while offering the opportunity to continue doing online what used to be face-to-face activities.
