Think of Google Groups as a great way to facilitate conversation and provide resources or information to a specific group of individuals. Where Google Groups differs from Google Classroom is the fact that students or individuals invited to the group can interact, share resources and ask questions of each other. Groups can include students, parents, other teachers, anyone who accepts joining the group. So groups could be outside the typical classroom setting and are a great solution for clubs, sports teams, parents, or for a select group of students. Here is some great info on how to create and manage groups.
