What is the role of d6+ in the G Suite setup?

d6+ does not integrate directly with Google Classroom, but it automates the creation of G Suite accounts for all staff and learners. This is a prerequisite for using Google Classroom, as every teacher and student needs a G Suite account to access it.

• If the school has never used G Suite before, the setup is straightforward.

• If the school has existing G Suite accounts from a non-integrated d6+ environment, migrating to an integrated setup is more complex. Contact the d6 support team for assistance.

What is Google Classroom?

• Creating and distributing assignments, grading, and sending feedback from any device.

• Copying topics and assignments between classes to save time.

• Using a comment bank to give faster, consistent feedback.

• Facilitating class discussions and keeping materials organised on the Classwork page.

• Managing guardians, students, and co-teachers on the People page.

• Administering quizzes in locked mode to eliminate distractions.
