3. Introducing the Google Classroom:
As we all know, Google is a force in many different facets of our daily lives. It only makes sense that they also have their involvement within education.
This evolution of Google makes sense. They already have the pieces of the puzzle available that education institutions find valuable. Everything from Google Docs, to Gmail, and chat – the only missing component was one unified name and place for these features.

I think the answer largely depends on what you value out of such a tool. While Google does have a track record of creating quality programs. Ideally if you plan on supplementing your classroom with an online interactive component, then I would think that Google Classroom would be worth considering.
