Teaching: any course with a programming or math software component, where you want all your students to be able to use that component without dealing with the installation pain. Also, SMC allows students to easily share files, and even work together in realtime. There are dozens of courses using SMC right now.

Collaborative Research: all co-authors of a paper can work together in an SMC project, both writing the paper there and doing research-level computations.
