There are many benefits to using Classroom:

Saves time – The simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review and mark 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.
