Thankful for this wonderful Google resource! Great job! I am looking forward to tuning in each week. I was looking for the Google Classroom Admin Console report and could not find the info you cited. I do not see anything in show notes. Logged in as admin, I only see active classroom users on the highlights graph. Can you share where I find detailed steps to generate the is admin report? Thank you!!
