I will be keen to see what my Year 12's think of it when school resumes after the holidays (ah spring has sprung down here in Australia) As a teacher, the privacy features offered by edmodo over twitter are vital for a k-12 environment.

We are not a replacement for twitter. A lot of educators would love to use twitter in their classroom but they have concerns over their students privacy. We have built a safe environment that teachers can communicate with their students and collobarate. -Jeff Wess, thanks for your comment. We are not a replacement for twitter.

We do not aim to be a twitter killer and I agree with value of twitter having things publicly available. We definitely built with k-12 in mind when we were design the privacy model. Teachers/Professor's that do want to post items public also have the ability to do so. Every post gets a public button and a teacher can cherry pick what they want to send to the public time line if they want to. Best of both worlds :) Once again thanks for posting about Edmodo.
