Google wins again with Classroom

Google Classroom simplifies the Google Drive dilemma teachers have had for several years.  Sharing and organizing documents and presentations has been cluttered, although free services like Doctopus and paid services like Hapara have been helpful.  With Classroom, Google automatically changes shared settings on files automatically for teachers and keeps track of all the assignments.  While the program is only available to invited teachers who sign up at http://classroom.google.com, it will launch to everyone in August/September.

Here are the best tutorials I've found on the web about Classroom in various formats:
Presentation
Blog Posts
YouTube

Classroom is a simplified LMS (Learning Management System), which means it won't have all the features of Edmodo or Schoology.  Like other Googly projects, it will continue to develop and evolve as Google hears from teachers.  My top request?   Personalized pictures for the cover photos.
