Getting started with Google Classroom (video)

Watch the video for a tour of Google Classroom

Google Classroom is an easy to use tool which lets teachers set work for students. Students can 'turn in' work through Google Classroom too. The video below will give you a guided tour. 

You do not need to install anything - you can just go to classroom.google.com to get started. There is an app version for smartphones and tablets, which you can use if you wish. 

Why does Classroom ask to access my device's camera?

Your device may show an alert asking permission to use a camera etc.

You may see this alert if you download the Google Classroom app, which then allows students to upload photos of their offline work through the app. If you are worried, you do not need to download the app. You can just access Google Classroom on the web at classroom.google.com where it will not trigger any security warning.

If you cannot see or join classes, you may need to switch accounts. To do this, find the accounts section and select your academy account. You will find this:
