Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profit organsations and anyone with a personal Google account. Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect with one another – inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate and stay organised.
There are many benefits of using Classroom:
• Easy to set up – Teachers can add students directly or share a code with their class to join. It takes just a few minutes to set up.
• Saves time – The simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review and mark assignments quickly, all in one place.
• Improves organisation – Students can see all of their assignments on an assignments page, while all class materials (e.g. documents, photos, videos) are automatically filed into folders in Google Drive.
• Enhances communication – Classroom allows teachers to send announcements and start class discussions instantly. Students can share resources with one another or provide answers to questions on the stream.
• Affordable and secure – Like the rest of G Suite for Education services, Classroom contains no ads, never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes, and is free.
