The Edmodo social networking platform is a serious challenge to the Moodle environment.  Most notably, the interface –familiar/anytime/paperless would undoubtedly appeal to students already immersed in Facebook and MySpace.  What’s more, as noted at WEMTA conference sessions, Edmodo limits student peer-chat as non-private  (= less bullying potential) while allowing student-to-teacher communications to be private or public.  Less robust than Ning, Edmodo is probably safer for young students.

In my opinion, it’s a better fit for today’s 9-12 learners than Moodle.
