Google Classroom: Teachers-Google Classroom Teachers

Google Classroom Teachers - Student Guide

Pdf Summary

This document is a teacher-focused guide to using Google Classroom. It explains how to sign in, navigate the interface, manage classes and students, create and grade work, and communicate with students and guardians.<br /><br />It begins with account types (school/G Suite for Education, personal Gmail, and organizational G Suite) and notes that only school accounts support guardian emails. It then tours the Classroom homepage and menu, highlighting class tiles, the app launcher, To-do, Calendar, Archived Classes, and global Settings (profile and email/notification preferences that apply to all classes).<br /><br />The guide shows how to create a class (class name required; optional section, subject, and room), edit class details, and apply a visual theme. It covers adding students either by sharing a class code (display, copy, reset, disable) or sending email invitations via the People tab, and removing students while noting their prior posts and Drive files remain unless manually deleted.<br /><br />It explains inviting co-teachers and clarifies permission differences (e.g., only the primary teacher can delete a class and owns the Drive folder). Class-level settings include controlling Stream posting/commenting, how classwork appears on the Stream, and whether teachers see deleted items. Grading setup options include no overall grade, total points, or weighted categories, plus whether students can see overall grades.<br /><br />For coursework, it distinguishes ungraded Materials from graded Assignments and Questions. It details creating each item, attaching files/links/videos/Drive items, organizing with Topics, scheduling posts or saving drafts, and setting assignment file permissions (view, edit, or make a copy per student). It also describes grading and returning submissions from the Grades tab, and warns that deleting assignments/questions permanently removes grades/comments from Classroom but not related Drive files.<br /><br />Finally, it covers communication: posting, editing, and moving announcements; mentioning students in Stream comments; emailing up to 100 students at a time; and, where enabled by administrators, inviting guardians, turning on guardian summaries (missing/upcoming work and activity), and emailing all guardians via Bcc for privacy.
