I currently don’t use G Suite for Education. Can I use Classroom with my students who have personal accounts?
In order for students to be able to use Classroom legally, the school must register a free G Suite for Education account. School administrator can then choose Google services to be available to teachers and students.
Is there a Classroom app for phones and tablets?

Does Classroom contain adverts?
Google Classroom, like other G Suite for Education services, does not contain advertising.
Will the materials we create/place be used for advertising purposes?
Student materials and data are not used for advertising purposes.
Is student, teacher and school data stored in Classroom the property of Google?
Google (according to official information) does not take ownership of any user data in basic G Suite services, including G Suite for Education. If an educational institution quit using Google services, it is possible to transfer user data.

As a teacher, constructing two different courses for two different groups, can I use materials that I have prepared for one group, and will not have to duplicate them again?
Yes, there is such possibility – we can use materials that we have already provided. In order to see the details, we invite you to check our course.
Can I add materials and tasks to classes together with other teacher (s)?
Yes, there is such possibility – we can add (as the class creator) new teachers or confirm invitations to create classes sent from other creators. In order to learn details, we invite you to view our materials.
Do I have to create all accounts for students and invite them by email (as a teacher – class creator)? Is there a “more effective and friendly” way?
We have several options. We can invite students or other teachers (as class creator) by email, but they must confirm the invitation.
We can give class code for students. They log in, submit the code and then check in on the class.
We (the G Suite administrator) can generate accounts by manually adding them or importing the appropriate .CSV file.
