In collecting data, the researchers used writing test. The paired sample t-test was used in SPSS version 18 in analyzing the data. The result of the computation is .000 from the pair sample test which is less than the significance level .005. This result indicated that students could motivate students to pay attention in learning. The application helped students to memorize vocabulary lists in the examples they just learned. The usage of Google Classroom tools helped students to concentrate more on the writing training they get in class. The students utilized the Google Classroom to write better on their vocabulary and affect student activity and student skills in writing.
