Classroom 101
Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect-inside and outside of school. Learn how to set up classes and add students, create assignments, and review student work. Work with the whole class to deliver assignments. Best to set up with a school account rather than a personal account.
(You can set settings so that students can only comment.)
Students as early as year 1 and 2 can start commenting on
learning tasks. Tasks can be developed and managed. e.g. Set topic
