As I was looking for an article on microblogging in education, I came across this article. I started reading about Edmodo and decided I had to know more, so I registered for the site. I have to say that this microblogging site kicks butt!
It allows for different "groups" which could be your classes. You can set up an assignment chart. You can message groups, students or other teachers. You can set up calender to help students remember important dates. Students can put messages in their "locker" as reminders. You could message absent students their work. You can send links and files to the site, allowing you to post work and have students print if they lose their sheet! I almost feel as if the possibilities are endless. As the teacher you can see everything the students are doing on the site.
I am going to keep exploring this site, but I enjoy its options more than Twitter and Plurk!

Mary Caitlin,
This site sounds very intriguing Why don't you detail the ways it differs from Twitter and Plurk when you compare the programs.
