Students can create teacher accounts, invite their friends and use it as a way to communicate during school. Edmodo doesn't authenticate if a person is a teacher. Groups can be created so teacher collaboration about specific topics (reading, technology, third grade, etc.) can occur. Students can keep in close contact with class and teacher if out of school. 
Great way to create a paperless classroom.May not be effective for younger students, due to inexperience.Would be great if it had a blogging feature built in.Doesn't allow students to edit an assignment once turned in.
Districts can have their own specific Edmodo community and collaborate specifically with teachers and co-workers across their county.

They are in beta testing for an "etherpad" type collaborative writing application in Edmodo. Teachers can post assignments and students can turn them in on the site. It is a closed system so that teachers and students can communicate, share links and documents in a safe environment. Edmodo is a micro-blogging tool specific to classroom use.
