To teach or take a class in Google Classroom, you’ll first need to log in. The process looks slightly different depending on the type of Google account you have, but the steps are essentially the same.

All you have to do on a desktop or mobile app is open Google Classroom using an email associated with your Classroom account. 

It could be a G Suite account for an organization, a G Suite for Education account for a school, or a personal account. A G Suite for Education will usually have a “.edu” at the end, while the other two will end in “.com.” 

Once you’re logged in, you’re ready to begin class.
