Abstract

In recent years, education has been significantly impacted by the digital revolution, becoming increasingly present in learning environments and transforming the way teachers teach and students learn. With the emergence of hybrid and remote education, the use of digital educational platforms has become progressively necessary. In 2014, Google Classroom was launched as a tool designed to manage classes, organize content, and promote communication between teachers and students. With its recent innovations, the platform has strengthened the integration between technology and teaching, enabling more interactive, accessible, and efficient learning. This article addresses the most recent innovations in Google Classroom and their contributions to more dynamic, personalized, and inclusive teaching. It also analyzes the effects of these resources on the educational experience and discusses challenges, strengths, and future perspectives.
