It seems like student privacy and confidentiality, and personal safety regarding their physical whereabouts, would preclude the use of it for school.
Works really well. Students and parents sign a electronic code of conduct. I have not had one misconduct issue yet. I also conduct what is know as a flipped classroom. Students watch my "lectures" on their own time by way of webcasts and a web based classroom page. They often take notes with their phones by pictures or quicknotes. Pretty cool stuff. They also still write traditional research papers and all the stuff we all grew up with.
