I would use Google classroom because I like the idea of the students being able to create something and turning it in rather than playing games. We are a school that uses the Google suite of the app a lot. I can also have students join my class very easily since we are almost 1 to 1. I would love to have students create book trailers or commercials for their favorite books. I just think I would be able to do more with Google Classroom, especially when we have a tech person who does not want to help teachers obtain other types of technology sources outside of Google and anything a Chromebook can do. Adding apps to anything would be a process.
