Google Classroom Students - Quick Reference Guide

Pdf Summary

This quick reference card explains how students use Google Classroom in G Suite.

To sign in, go to <strong>classroom.google.com</strong>, click <strong>Go to Classroom</strong>, then enter your Google account email and password. After signing in, you arrive at the Classroom home page, where your profile picture may appear in the upper-right corner.

Students can <strong>join a class</strong> in two ways: (1) if a teacher invites you, click <strong>Join</strong> on the class tile shown on the Classroom page; or (2) if you receive a <strong>class code</strong>, click <strong>Join a class</strong>, enter the code, and click <strong>Join</strong>.

Google Classroom connects to <strong>Google Drive</strong> automatically. A <strong>Classroom folder</strong> is created in your Drive at <strong>drive.google.com</strong> to store class-related files.

The document also clarifies <strong>commenting</strong>: <strong>class comments</strong> are visible to everyone in the class, while <strong>private comments</strong> are visible only to the teacher.

The main Class screen is organized into three tabs:
- <strong>Stream</strong>: shows class activity, including teacher posts, student posts, and upcoming due assignments.
- <strong>Classwork</strong>: where you view and complete assignments.
- <strong>People</strong>: lists the teacher and classmates.

On an <strong>assignment page</strong>, students can see instructions, due dates, attached teacher files, assignment status, and options to attach additional files and <strong>turn in</strong> work. It distinguishes between public comments (visible to the class) and teacher-only comments.

After you <strong>turn in</strong> an assignment, the submitted document becomes <strong>view-only</strong> for you because ownership shifts to the teacher to prevent changes. If allowed by the teacher, you can click <strong>Unsubmit</strong> to regain editing rights and make updates before the due date.

Finally, if grades are enabled, students can view assignment statuses and grades by going to <strong>Classwork → View your work</strong>.
