You can create a class to assign work and post announcements to students.
If your school has a Google Workspace for Education account, you should use that email to create your classes. However, anyone over 13 years old can create a class using a personal Google Account.

Problem creating a class?
- If you have a Google Workspace for Education account but can't add a class, your Google Workspace administrator might need to verify that you’re a teacher. Contact your administrator for help. For instructions, administrators can go to Verify teachers and set permissions.
- If you have a personal Google Account, there are limits on the number of classes that you can create. Learn more about Classroom limits.
