Wait! What about Managebac?

Managebac and Google Classroom have some similar features, but they are complementary tools. Managebac is use by students to submit finished work through Turnitin and receive a final grade. Google Classroom is used by teachers to make learning more transparent by allowing both the student and teacher to view the assignment while is it being made. Google Classroom supports comments, in both Google files and in the classroom itself, and allows for files to be submitted and re-submitted as many times as needed. Google classroom also supports larger files and multiple files types.
