Read description carefully
I had ordered the Kindle edition of Google Classroom 2019 and wanted a paper copy to make notes on. So I clicked on the Paperpack link thinking it was the same edition. Didn't realize it wasn't until I got the book and started reading it and found it was different from the Kindle edition. And of course it was, since the paperpack was the 2018 version. My fault that I didn't look more closely at the image (which did say Google Classroom 2018) but the covers are identical except for the year (not a good sign for Google Classroom, which I am not a fan of but required to use in our school). So make sure you look at the cover and description of what you are purchasing. Had to return this book as it was useless to me.

Ok...but not
Book is easy to understand and follow if you can get past the wrong word (archive but the have achieved, tab and they have lab) and repeating words. Pictures of examples are also fuzzy.

Truly Disappointing
I was so excited to purchase this book, especially because it's adapted for the new version of Classroom that Google pushed out in 2018. With an average of 4 stars and 78 ratings, I thought I'd be receiving a book full of clear explanations of the ins and outs of Google Classroom, as well as "tips and tricks." This is easily one of the most horribly-written books I've ever read. There are typos throughout. I am relatively sure the writer's first language is not English, which wouldn't be a problem except that it makes directions confusing as hell sometimes. The photos are laughable--clip art and blurry screenshots of Google Classroom with arrows and circles that look as though they were drawn in Microsoft Paint. The book doesn't even have an author attributed, which is probably a good thing, since I wouldn't want to be associated with this crap. This book was useless. I'm so disappointed.

Very Disappointing
This book is horribly written. The phrasing and syntax are clumsy, repetitive, and difficult to follow. The examples (screen shots) are hard to see. As a result, the book is nearly useless as a "how to" manual. I had hoped this book would be a solid introduction to my use of Google classroom. Unfortunately, I'll now have to purchase additional materials to clarify the concepts this book explained so poorly.

No.
I found out on a Friday, that I had to have my Tuesday classes on Google Classroom. (Corona Closings) So, over a weekend I set up practice accounts and looked at You Tube videos. Once I was up and running with my students, I came to Amazon to look for a users guide that might show me some functionality that I had not found, or some neat tips or helpful work-arounds. In short. No. This book showed me nothing I had not figured out on my own. And did not mention several applications that I am using. Thank goodness I got this on Kindle and did not pay for a paper copy.

Great place to start
This book gives a good overview of fundamentals of using Google classroom. It's mostly a good tutorial. What's missing is more examples and more strategies demonstrating how to apply the information. But other books accomplish this and this is a great place to get your first overview. I read it after I had spent one year starting to use Google classroom and experimenting with some of what was possible. This was perfect timing as I have a good framework for what was being discussed and to evaluate what I did in a good way and what I could plan to do differently.

A waste
This book is poorly written and shallow. The sentence structure, word choice and phrasing are embarrassing. It was obviously never edited. Typos and incorrect spell checks abound (“achieve” for “archive”?). Chapter 8 doesn’t exist other than a title, picture and contents entry. Hard to believe anyone would put something like this up for sale, or that I read the whole thing to be sure my assessment wasn’t unfair.

Good starting point
Title of this ebook is deceiving as it says "EVERYTHING" you need to know, but of course it doesn't cover everything.... I say this is a good starting point and I definitely did learn a lot from this book; however, the pictures definitely could've been better. It looked unprofessionally done and there were also quite a few grammatical errors throughout the book. Other than that, it covers the basics and a good variety of things to do in Google Classroom.

Simple users manual.
Thanks to the author for the simple step-by-step guide to creating GoogleGoogle Classroom. Images help to quickly create a cabinet, add students, teachers and parents, upload materials for training, how to enter data about classes in Google tables, motivational methods for students and useful functions and applications for maximum interaction. This step-by-step guide helped me organize the learning process for my children.

Informative guide
With Google Classroom, it brings forth more engagement because of one aspect people both laud and chide: technology. Technology is one of the biggest benefits to using Google Classroom. Children use technology almost all the time now, from browsing social media to using the internet for research. This book contains all important information on this topic.

Helpful
Well written in this book about the benefits of Google Classroom for everyone, and why it matters. If you want to save yourself stress, and save the environment as well, then Google Classroom is the way to go, because it uses so much less energy.

It was useful for me
I understand now what google classroom is and I learned it benefits in this book. It is useful to read to anyone who plans or is already creating such a class for their students.
