Hi,
I’ve been trying to invite other teachers to my classes at Google Classroom, but, I allways get the same message. It does not allow me to invite any teacher.
I created my classes and check other teacher’s classes and I still can’t find out what is wrong.
I really need help. I am an English teacher and I need to get things working as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Carla Inácio
