Other tips and advice.

If you are using a shared device such as a family computer, then it’s to have separate accounts for your child’s account, also ensure that chrome browser is not signed into any other google account.
Where’s this isn’t possible and you need google signed in with a different account, then follow this link which instructs you how to add profiles to chrome browser so it can switch between accounts, so then all account stay active in chrome but don’t affect permissions in documents assigned in google classroom

Xbox and Playstation

Classroom can be opened on Xbox and Playstation. There isn’t an app that the students can add to their consoles. Instead, they are going to have to use the built-in browsers that come on the two devices. On Xbox, it is Microsoft Edge. On Playstation, it is the “www” browser. Your students will probably know how to find the browsers on their consoles, but if not, each one has a search function they can access on the home screen.

Once the browser has been opened:

Type in classroom.google.com in the URL bar.
A prompt for a Google account will appear.
Type in your school district email and password – it doesn’t end in google.com and that is ok!
The Classroom home screen will open up.

If students have a keyboard they can plug in, they will have a much easier time of navigation. Otherwise, they will have to use their controllers to click on the classroom tiles, open up assignments and type.
