Better support teachers and students by virtually visiting classes, and temporarily grant access for substitutes and support staff, without the need to be a Classroom co-teacher.

“We had a user who received an email that was a phishing attempt, and we were able to use Google Workspace for Education Plus to get control of the message. We can take control right from the Admin console for content that raises a concern.”
Senior Network manager
Newburgh Enlarged School District“Because Meet and other tools in Education Plus are easy to use, the student experience is much better. Our kids are busy with work, and have to take buses and the Metro to get to UIN campuses after working – they don’t have the time or the patience to deal with complicated technology.”
Chief Academic Officer
Universidad Insurgentes, México“Paying for [Education Plus] turns a good product into a really, really good product. I think given that it is the absolute core of every school’s administration and every school’s teaching and learning, it’s not a nice-to-have. It’s an absolute must-have for us schools now.”
IT business partner
K–12, Europe“Google Classroom really opened the door to personalized learning…We got right on board with using it to modify lessons for individual students, or comment on their homework if we wanted to help them understand the lesson better.”
