Now you just have to add your child into your class. You can invite them by email, or you can have them join the class with the class code that appears in the classroom header.

Google Classroom allows you to plan ahead, and not have to tell them what to do next, and then what to do next. That independence is worth a lot.

Once you have Classroom set up it gives you, the homeschool parent, time to work with other children. It gives you time to get something done around the house.

If you work, from home or out of the home, Google Classroom might be your saving grace. You can assign assignments, giving them due dates, and you can mark their assignments.
