Google Classroom helps teachers create, assign, and collect student classwork and homework paperlessly. With Google Classroom, teachers can seamlessly integrate Google Docs, Google Drive, and Gmail to create assignments, provide feedback for in progress and completed work, and communicate with their students directly and with whole class announcements--all without using a single piece of paper.

With a basic understanding of Google Classroom, you can set up a class, share assignments with students, and provide timely feedback.

Advantages
- The advantages to this are that I have one document to assess. I can go through 30 pieces of student work quickly.
- All students are actively contributing.
- The students have to work together on their initial group slides since every student will be responsible for presenting the topic.
- I can be active in providing feedback and comments while they work on it.
- The presentation can be embedded as a single file into a website.
- I save transition time since the presentations are ready to go. No thumb drives or account switching needed.
- Every student is able to practice their presentation skills.
This is a somewhat harder technology concept so would probably be ideal for upper elementary and middle school.
