I have been exposed to Edmodo in other NYIT classes and see that it can have a many great uses in an educational setting. Most importantly it provides  a safe interface for social networking with parents and students. It makes it easy to communicate assignments and special dates with students and their families. It provides a platform for students to do homework and research assignments. If students are absent they can see what they missed. Teachers can post links to web casts, video  and other graphic content. The possibilities are really endless. I found this great web page with other out-of-the-box ideas for using Edmodo. I thought you all might find it interesting.

I am not sure if I will use Edmodo in my classroom, but I see its merits.
