10 years of Classroom in Australia: New AI tools and resources to support educators and students
In 2014, a team of Googlers (many of whom were former educators) launched Google Classroom as a "mission control" for teachers. With a central place to bring Google’s collaboration tools together, and a constant feedback loop with schools through the Google for Education Pilot Program, Classroom has evolved from a simple assignment distribution tool to a destination for everything a school needs to deliver real learning impact.
Before Google Classroom became a central place for Google Workspace tools, a 2nd grade teacher created these posters explaining to students how to share and submit their work in Google Drive For over a decade, we’ve been partnering with Australian schools, academic and government institutions across the country to empower educators and prepare students for the future. Today, we’re announcing new initiatives to support a bright future for students and educators in Australia. We're evolving to help educators not only save time, but also create time – especially with the help of AI – so they can support meaningful student progress.
