How Classroom is handling an increased volume of users
Last updated: 3/20/2020
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, more schools around the world are turning to distance learning - and with that, they've seen a significant increase in Google Classroom usage. They are working around the clock to keep the services we rely on, like Classroom, up and running so we have the best possible experience.
If you experience any performance issues while using Classroom, you can try the following steps:
- Only have Classroom open in one browser tab at a time.
- Close any unnecessary windows or tabs.
- Disconnect extra devices from your WiFi network.
For questions about other Classroom topics, check the Classroom Community Forum.
Even when schools are closed, you can keep the learning going with these special cross-curricular journeys. Every day includes four separate learning experiences, each built around a thrilling, meaningful story or video. Kids can do them on their own, with their families, or with their teachers. Just find your grade level and let the learning begin!
