Yesterday I had a substitute teacher, and I needed him to show various videos to my classes. In order to make it simple for him, I created a Google Classroom called "Substitute Teacher." I then created an assignment for each of my courses detailing what the students and the substitue needed to do. I was in the building working on curriculum, so I logged him into the class, but had I been sick at home, the principal could have logged in to give the substitute access. You may wonder why I didn't just have the students go to their Classroom pages to see the videos. We are not a 1:1 school, so the videos needed to be shown on the projector, and the assignments were handed out as printed worksheets. I wanted everything for all my courses easily accessible to the sub. I could have created YouTube playlists instead, but I was also able to type all the instructions for the sub in Classroom.
See the screenshots of the substitute classroom page below. The substitute class has no students enrolled. The "assignments" on the page are for the substitute's use only; they won't be completed and turned in by anyone via Classroom.
