Microblogging is getting bigger by the month spreading its tiny wings over all kinds of sectors and niches. A new service released will expand the platform into Education.

edmodo is a relatively new private microblogging platform designed for use in the classroom by both teachers and students. The service gives teachers and students the ability to share notes, links, and files to generate communication both inside and outside of the classroom. Teachers also have the ability to post alerts, assignments, and events to share with their students. For more information here is a user submitted presentation of edmodo with some more details about some of the features.
