This looks great for collaboration between pupils. I've not used it with a class yet but the possibilities seem many and varied. Rather like Etherpad this extends on the text collaboration to include tools for drawing, graphics, audio and photos. I think posting a picture for children to add descriptive sentences/phrases around the edge could be a starting point to test its worth. Previous use of Etherpad with Year 4 pupils has taught me that each child should be given a pre-determined area of the screen to work in, and that 4-5 children per document is probably enough before it becomes unmanageable!
