What is Google Classroom?

Google Classroom is a website developed by google for teacher / child interaction. 

It is a secure access website and you will have received an individual email address and password for your child to log in. Should your child need to access learning remotely, we will use this platform to share learning activities and provide feedback on work returned. Needing a little refresher on how to use it?
