A solution to accessing Google Classroom is to use Smart TVs and game consoles (Xbox/PS4 etc.) as alternative devices.
Consoles and Smart TVs have in-built internet browsers and they can be used to access Google Classroom.

Editing documents does not appear to be possible at this time.
Many households may have a smart TV or console and these devices allow another way for children to access their remote learning.
