Does Google+ have a place in the classroom?

The wheels are already turning about how Google+ could potentially play a role in education. From where I sit, I think there is a lot of potential for Google Plus in the classroom.

ReadWriteWeb recently featured Audrey Watters' outlook for Google+ in education. She explained the positives and negatives she sees in implementing this new and widely popular social platform in schools.

I agree there are two sides to the coin, because I foresee many opportunities coming from Google+ as an educational technology, as well as challenges. I added my thoughts in a comment on Audrey's article, so hop over to see my take on Google+ in the classroom. What are your thoughts?
