Google Classroom has undergone a series of updates and changes since its original release in May 2014. Teachers can monitor each student's progress by reviewing the revision history of a document, and, after being graded, teachers can return work along with comments and grades. Each class creates a separate folder in the respective user's Google Drive, where the student can submit work to be graded by a teacher. Students can be invited to join a class through a private code or be imported automatically from a school domain. Google Classroom uses a variety of proprietary user applications ( Google Applications for Education) with the goal of managing student and teacher communication. As of 2021, approximately 150 million users use Google Classroom. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students. Google Classroom is a free blended learning platform developed by Google for educational institutions that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments.
