Google Developing Free LMS as Part of Apps for Education

By David Nagel, THE Journal


Google is now taking applications for a limited preview of a new app called Google Classroom — a tool that brings learning management functionality to the Google Apps for Education suite. According to Google Apps for Education Product Manager Zach Yeskel, Google Classroom is designed “to give teachers more time to teach [and to] give students more time to learn” by helping them avoid “some of the busywork” that’s part of the process of teaching. Yeskel said Classroom has been piloted in about a dozen schools around the country so far, including institutions in New York, California and Illinois.
