So, to counter my chaotic mind and my accidentally unhelpful zeal for edmodo, I have decided to write down the features of edmodo that I use every day and why I use them.

However, Twitter is a public system (with the ability to make individual messages private) whereas Edmodo is 100% private (unless you choose to make particular posts and events public).
