A critical review of literature was conducted to analyse the current body of knowledge on enhancing students’ Google Classrooms skills. There are two primary approaches to review of literature: the topical and critical review approaches. This article discusses about the critical review that was conducted using a 5 steps method: (1) defining a research objective and research question, (2) observing particular sample of sources in the literature observed, (3) analysing the data that was collected from the sources after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, (4) reporting the findings from critical analysis using descriptive statistics and lastly, (5) discussing implications from these results that were identified. The author was able to identify two themes from the critical review, which were then built into a conceptual framework based on their relationships. This review gives insight on the efficiency of using Google Classroom in education. Educators from all levels use Google Classroom as it is convenient, easily accessed and practical. However, the knowledge gaps identified in this critical review call for additional research in the field of improving students' Google Classroom skills especially for the primary school. This can help to lessen the burden of their parents and in the meantime, improve their technological skills and train them to be independent.
