Nowadays, development of technology is growing rapidly. The developments have been almost sectors. Economics, Politics and Education have applied technology. It can be predicted that many people have been addicted with information and communication technology (ICT). The development of ICT cannot be separated from information technology (IT) which is also growing. Information Technology is one of many the device used by managers in anticipating changes (Laudon and Laudon, 2014). With the development of IT, many people do innovation to make IT that can be used to facilitate other people in doing daily activities, ranging from sending messages, assignments and communicate online, search for and buy many things by online, order tickets and modes of transportation online and many others. Therefore, many aspects of human life are influenced by technological developments information where one of them is related to the learning process in the field education.
The current teaching and learning process is different from in the past time where classes that are held directly (face to face) or traditional method of teaching is teacher -cantered learning where lecturers use visual aids in the form of presentation slides, whiteboard and visualizer. Learning activities in the computer lab involves four major types of practical works: exercises, experiences, demonstrations and investigations. Therefore, the teachers need to be able to use the various technologies and also be able to design, compile, guide, and assess student projects. Resources and services need to be coordinated with colleagues and other professionals. This new role is challenging and requires the need for a different approach to teacher professional development. The isolation of typical teachers is formed with each other and the outside world must be eliminated given this very different form of education.
Distance education is a kind of education where teachers and students are separated and learning material is carried outthrough telecommunications systems. Many schools and universities throughout the world have used this learning system and have had successful experiences with it. The presence of educational technology is growing in the classroom. Teachers as educators must be prepared to work with this new technology, which plays an important role in learning and acquires a variety of cognitive knowledge so that educational technology must be incorporated into the future curriculum. The application of educational technology improves cognitive skills and characteristics.
The role of technology in the present teaching and learning process, every educator knows that learning is not something done only in class or handled by teacher. Today, it is often difficult to reach every student in the class using the same curriculum approach. The prospective of teachers has endless resources to guide students to higher levels of learning. The development of the use of computer technology in the last decade has had a profound effect on many schools and classrooms throughout the world, including Indonesia. The use of technology to improve education will bring benefits to the future in all areas of society.
In addition, the role of educators in the teaching process in schools is not same, but depends on institutional characteristics, teaching and learning conceptions, individual experiences, and teacher personality types. New technologies will not fundamentally change the role of educators, but have a major impact on how various teaching approaches can be applied in radically different technological and organizational environments. One of technologies is internet; it becomes an important thing in life. Almost all human needs achieved by internet. For example, we just move the finger to the gadget screen to choose things. It needs a few minute; we can get what we want to. It helps to save time and energy to obtain information. When internet introduced at the first time, it is few people having computer. Many people thought that internet related to pornographic. The government socialize internet through training or workshop, offices, schools from kindergarten to senior high school and many institutions. There is ICT centre applied in offices, schools and institutions. It eases user to access information that needed. In addition, internet can be accessed by mobile phone. It makes situation more comfortable and practical. It can be proved that many vendors introducing quota faster and cheaper. Consumers become large and access of informantion becomes faster. Information can be obtained whenever and anywhere.
One of sectors getting development of information and communication technology is education. Every several years, a high number of educational institutions are spending improving amounts of money to upgrade their systems for the intention of bridging the existing technological gaps in the curriculum (Buabeng-Andoh, 2012). It gives perception that technology can carry positive effect for students and teacher in teaching and learning process. Students from generation Zare participants from the learning process. Teacher-cantered learning is no longer suitable for this generation so it needs to change to a more student-cantered approach, especially for students who are very diverse in their abilities (Viridi. 2017).
Students are expected to more active by using method of learning given by teacher. For example, students are divided into some group to make a discussion. They can think and share ideas to obtaine new ideas. From discussion, it creates cooperative learning. There is a lot of prominence on combining technology in the classroom through innovative teaching strategies that focus on supporting students to achieve the desired learning objectives (Hwang, Lai, & Wang, 2015). Technology facilitates increasing student engagement (Northey, Bucic, Chylinski, &Govind, 2015) which is critical to obtain the desired learning objectives (Bolkan, 2015).
One of the ways that can be used to do the learning process online is to use Google Classroom. Google Classroom is to offer a platform of blended learning in schools in order to simplify creating assignments and getting the grade out to the students in a paperless way (Donald Yates, 2017). It is a popular Web 2.0 tools that offers a lot of interesting facilities and applications. It, like many other Web 2.0 tools, has potential for teaching and learning because of its unique built-in functions that offer pedagogical, social and technological affordances (Wang, Q et al: 2012). Google Classroom is a new tool introduced in Google Apps for Education in 2014. This classroom facilitates the teachers to create and organize assignments quickly, provide feedback efficiently, and communicate with their classes with ease online or blending learning style of teaching offers many advantages over the traditional classroom teaching style. The most influential advantages lie in its accessibility, students' scheduling flexibility, and adaptability for working (J. E. Gallagher, K: 2005). It takes into consideration the achievement of specific functions such as simplifying the students-teacher communication, and the ease of distributing and grading assignments. It provides the students with an opportunity to submit their work to be graded by their teachers online within the deadlines. Similarly, teachers can have a complete vision concerning the progress of each student, and they can return work along with the necessary comments so that the student can revise their assignments.
Accordingly, Google classroom can be effective for both the learners and faculty members due to its features. As for the students, it provides a stream line of communication and workflow for students. Being free of paper is a crucial factor in developing learning strategies. Thus, students can keep their files more organized and needless stored paperless in a single program [I. N. M. Shaharanee, et al: 2016]. The previously given view is supported by [S. Latif: 2016] who points out that Google classroom is useful in facilitating teaching and learning process. Students are able to use it with ease whenever the need arises. The teachers' most important task is to make students aware of the way of using the apps.
One of ways that we can be used to do the learning process online is to use Google Classroom. The use of Google Classroom can be via multiplatform which can be a computer and a device. Teachers and students can visit the site https://classroom.google.com or can download the application via the playstore on android or through the app store in IOS with the Google Classroom keyword. The use is free of charge, so that utilization can be done as needed. Through online learning, students are expected to be able to develop their abilities in a better direction.
