Google Classroom is a great way for teachers to manage their virtual classrooms. Think of it as a central hub for all the communication.

When users sign in to Classroom for the first time, they identify as teachers or students. Users who identify as teachers are automatically added to the Classroom Teachers group. As a G Suite administrator, you verify users who identified as a teacher to give them access to the Classroom features they need. Also, you set the teacher permissions for your domain.

• Control user access

• Verify Teachers

• Configure Class Settings

• Manage Guardians
