Google has rolled out a Classroom mobile app that is aimed at connecting teachers and students. Available on Android and iPhone, the app will encourage digital collaboration between them.
The new apps let students take photos of assignments and documents they want to share with teachers and access the files they need for their school work. It will also be integrated into the share functionality of many other apps, so users can attach PDFs, drawings and other media to Classroom assignments. Moving on the new app automatically caches video streams and assignment information each time the app opens with an Internet connection so that content can be accessed for offline viewing later.
