I need to reference this post in a paper I'm writing and can't do that without knowing the name of the author. Please help! -Mici Hi there

I've scoured your blog and can find no references at all to the author or authors beyond the footnote referring to a José Picardo (who I could assume was the author but that would be unsubstantiated…). I need to reference this post in a paper I'm writing and can't do that without knowing the name of the author. Please help!

I'm going to play with edmodo this summer. It looks useful. I like the site. I used the unstandard theme for a while and think it is one of the best there is. The colours are pleasing as well, a bit flickr-ish, Doug,

It was exactly what I've been looking for over the past week to try and get a feel for using such tools in teaching. I've started using Edmodo with a class of 10 year olds and quite successfully!

Is that the only way for people to login? I just set up my page, but as a junior high teacher, my students won't have e-mail addresses. Is that the only way for people to login?

Best of both worlds, no? Disclosure: I work for Control Yourself, responsible for Laconica, <a href="http://identi.ca/" rel="nofollow">http://identi.ca/</a> and <a href="http://status.net/" rel="nofollow">http://status.net/</a> - the latter will let you have your own network, too. I wouldn't work there if I didn't think it was a great idea :) Why not use a Free Software / Open Source Software like http://laconi.ca/ and roll your own? Best of both worlds, no?

As you said, we might not be as specialized as Edmoto, but you can do use it for many different things. Not sure if you know, but through the Twitter API we support such tools as Twhirl, Ping.fm, etc. :) Thanks for the mention! Ivan (Shout'Em) Hey hey,
