Google classroom as constructive tool

 Google classroom as a constructive tool for effective teaching and learning.

Google class is one of the best constructive tools that are used in online teaching and learning. Many are aware of this tool as they made best use of it during the Covid-19 pandemic. The tool is very stimulating and it has very good features. Teachers can create and collect paperless lessons and assignments where instant feedback makes learning rich.  Teachers can attach topic related files, pdf, video link, PowerPoint presentation with Audio for better comprehension of the students. With the use of Google classroom, learning becomes more easy and meaningful. Different features are there such as Quiz to assist their learning and to keep track of their teaching and learning.
