Getting Started with Google Classroom
When teachers create assignmentsfolders are automatically created in Google Drive for each student. They can choose to share a single document (like project instructions)or automatically make a copy for each student (like a project template). They can see who has completed the work at a glance and assign grades. Students can easily see due dates on their assignments pageso they can stay organized and submit work on time.

A Note About Delays in Assignments Reaching Students
Several teachers have reported that assignments that they post for students show up instantaneously for some studentsbut that others appear to have been missed by Classroom. It is highly likely that the assignments will show up for the affected students in time. As this blog post explains there is a background process that happens when you post an assignment and create a copy of it for each student. It is a bit like doing a mass mail-out. You have all the copies ready to gobut each recipient is at a different address. The postal service (or in this case Google) needs time to deliver all that mail. Please give the system a few hours to deliver the messages before creating a support request.
