There is a thread here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/news/136079-google-debuts-classroom-education-platform-teacher-student-communication.html

 

I have a few staff starting to use it - we ditched Its Learning as a VLE and although this does not do everything that did it is pretty good.

Pros - fairly simple to use, free, automatically creates classroom folders under your google drive. Has ability to do assignments.

Cons - limited compared to a full VLE, not got it synced up to sims to allow easy adding of class groups - although you can give students a unique code for a class so they can register themselves.
