Yes! This introduction video covers all of the major features of Google Classroom (note that as of RT 2022, we are primarily making use of the meeting/stream rooms). This introduction is presented from a School/Classroom perspective, so SCA usage may differ.
If you want to use Google Classroom through your official email, you may need an admin to enable the feature for your domain.

As a result of the Kingdom of Ansteorra’s status as a non-profit educational organization, we have access to Google Workspace Education resources. Specifically, we have access to GSuite resources and Google Classroom which provides high-capacity meeting rooms and resources that are available through our official email accounts. These resources do not cost the Kingdom extra money, and they allow us significantly higher capacity for attendance (1000 attendees per room), hosts (up to 25 per room), and meeting duration (300 hours per meeting). In addition, since we have access to these resources through our official email accounts, the Kingdom does not need to use accounts that are owned by individuals or by private businesses in order to achieve the capacity needed to host Round Table virtually. We understand that using a new platform is a change for us, for you, and for the event. We thank everyone for their patience and feedback as we move to a platform that will increase our capacity, lessen the workload for future virtual events, and save us money in the long run.
The conference features:
Typically, current and future officers must attend warranting and training classes in order to qualify for their positions. If you are an officer or are going to be soon, check with your Upline to see what classes you need to take!
