What is Google Classroom?
Google Classroom is a web-based platform that allows teachers to communicate with pupils digitally. Google Classroom allows teachers and pupils to share comments, files and weblinks, create and complete assignments, as well as give and receive feedback.
All children at Redbridge Primary have been issued a Google username and password. The username and password will give them access to all the G Suite for Education apps they need. Google Classroom (as well as all G Suite for Education apps) can be accessed through a variety of online platforms.
