If you're a teacher, you can invite students to join your classroom from your class page.

  2. 2

    Click the plus + at the top-right corner of the page. A menu will expand.

    • If you don't have your code on hand, check your school email. You can also contact your teacher or review your class syllabus.
  6. 6

    Review your class page. If your teacher has any information for you to look over, it will be listed here.

    • You can view upcoming assignments in the box that runs along the left side of the page.
    • By default, your page will open to the Stream tab, which is a compilation of posts from your teacher and other classmates.
    • Click the Classwork tab at the top of the page to view assignment details.
    • The People tab to the right of the "Classwork" tab displays a list of fellow students. This is helpful if you need to contact another classmate for a group assignment.

    Unfortunately, no. The only way to get a code from a teacher is asking them in person.

    In Google Classroom, teachers have a different type of account. If you go into the settings of your classroom, there should be an "Add teacher" button.

    No, Google Classroom is specifically a tool for teachers to use to share assignments and other coursework with their students, it doesn't actually offer classes independently. You should check out DuoLingo, a popular site/app with comprehensive lessons on just about every language you can think of.

      Tips

      • Consider familiarizing yourself with Google Classroom's class layout before the class officially starts. If you are a teacher, this means you should send out the invite to your Google Classroom well-ahead of the beginning of the school year.

        Thanks
