Collaborate anytime and anywhere with a suite of tools for education

With G Suite for Education, educators can create opportunities for learning, streamline administrative tasks, and challenge their students to think critically—all without disrupting current workflows. G Suite for Education tools are powerful on their own but work even better together.

Google Classroom

Google worked with educators across the country to create Classroom: a streamlined, easy-to-use tool that helps teachers manage coursework. With Classroom, educators can create classes, distribute assignments, grade and send feedback, and see everything in one place. Classroom helps students and teachers organize assignments, boost collaboration, and foster better communication.


  1. Tackle administrative tasks more efficiently: With simple setup and integration with G Suite for Education, Classroom streamlines repetitive tasks and makes it easy to focus on what teachers do best: teaching.
  2. The best in learning management at no cost:  Classroom is free for schools and included with sign up for G Suite for Education. Like all Google for Education tools, Classroom meets high-security standards.
  3. Work anywhere, anytime, and on any device: With Classroom, teachers and students can sign in from any computer or mobile device to access class assignments, course materials, and feedback.
  4. More time for richer feedback:  Educators can track student progress to know where and when to give extra feedback. With simplified workflows, more energy can be focused on giving students constructive, personalized recommendations.
  5. Everything teachers and students need to work better, together: Classroom was created hand-in-hand with teachers to help organize day-to-day tasks, communication, and foster greater collaboration.
  6. Build on previous assignments: Save time by copying topics and assignments from one class to another. You can tweak as needed and post to other sections or new classes.
  7. Give better feedback faster using the comment bank
  8. Assign and grade coursework securely—and reuse or collaborate
  9. Post, comment and facilitate classroom discussions
  10. Keep materials and resources organized in the Classwork page
  11. Manage and view guardians, students, and co-teachers on the People page

What is the role of d6+

Accounts for staff and learners can be created automatically by d6+.  We do not integrate directly with Classrooms, but in order to use Classrooms each teacher and student needs a G Suite account, and that is what our integration does - creates the G Suite accounts for all the staff and learners.  If the school has never used G-Suite for Education before, the setup is fairly easy. If they have existing accounts that they would want to carry over from a non-integrated d6+ environment to an integrated d6+ scenario it becomes very complex.
