The method used complete the research using the quantitative method. Online learning is considered to be the only medium for conveying material between teachers and students, during a pandemic emergency. For elementary school teacher who can do E-class learning, this conditional lead to unprepared Changes that happen fast and suddly as a result of the spread only brige that can connect teachers and students in learning without having to E-class. One of the efforts to encourage writing skills in students is the application of media that is interesting and easily understood by students. Today, students are inseparable from the technology culture, which means they are always adapting to There are so many kinds of online experimental model that useful for teaching and learn process. One of them is google classroom. Google Classroom is an application that creates classrooms in cyberspace.
