Your student has too old an iPad.


Sorry.


A 2012 iPad 3rd. gen is almost 10-years old and cannot be upgraded/updated beyond iOS 9.3.5/9.3.6.

The Google Classroom app needs an iOS device capable of running iPadOS 13 and greater.


This is NOT possible for a nearly 10-year old iPad 3 model.


Sorry.


To use Google Classroom on that old an iPad, your student would need to use a Web browser to access the Google Classroom Website, instead.
