Students and teachers can use the Share to Classroom Chrome extension to share web content. Teachers can use it create and share assignments and announcements as well. For details about using the share to Classroom Chrome extension, see the article on sharing for teachers or for students.
Administrators can turn off Classroom for their domains or for specific organizational units, similar to how you disable other services.
