Google Classroom suite provides students and teachers with a safe online collaborative workplace. Teachers use Classroom tools to become more productive and efficient at managing curriculum responsibilities. Assignments are easily distributed and tracked. Grades are posted. Supporting messages and notification can easily be sent to students individually or in groups. Classroom can be integrated with other Google apps such as Drive, Calendar and email. To effectively use Google Classroom with your students, your school should have a GSuite (formally GAFE) account. Read the requirements at Google for Education.  If Google Classroom is not used at a school, teachers can now simply use a gmail account for a true hands-on Google Classroom experience.
