Does anyone have any experience with Google Classroom.  It looks like a great tool and I got our domain setup for it, but haven't really dove in too far.  Looks like Doctopus, Schoology/Google+ for Edu, and a couple other nice calendar/video features all rolled into one.

Here is a link to Google's Youtube video on it, for those who haven't heard of it yet.

I see a lot of potential, especially if they make an API similar to the MailApp, DriveApp, etc.  I am looking for more of the permissions settings from an admin standpoint (define teachers OU, define Students OU, set teachers over students, etc.).

From what I can tell, it is almost as bad as Play for Education, where a teacher can assign ANYONE ANYTHING.  I have had teachers assign Super-Admins stuff using Google Play for Education, so I removed it from the domain.  I can see the same teachers adding everyone to their classroom just to make waves.

I am just beginning to try it out. Pushed out my first assignment today. Worked great! Students like it too.

It isn't a replacement for Edmodo or Schoology as of yet. But Google is taking feedback!

Is Classroom still on preview only mode? I turned on Classroom for our domain, but when teachers go to classroom.google.com they still get redirected to classroom.google.com/signup.

Same here. I got the email saying that it was turned on back on the 11th.   But it's not working.

It is turned on in our domains, but not fully rolled out yet. It is being rolled out over the next two weeks. You will see a new mail group called classroom teachers. Make sure you do not delete this! It has something to do with classroom as well. I am thinking it may be associated with the approval process, but that is only a guess.
