How to Prepare a Google Classroom Session in Teacher Assist?

With Teacher Assist – Teachers are given the ability to monitor and control students while class is in session

It provides the Teachers with the ability to control and view what the students are doing in real-time.

Before the Classroom session starts, the Teacher can prepare and define what pages to be allowed or blocked on the students’ accounts while in Teacher Assist (Class session).
