Edmodo and so much more

One of my Business students put me onto this site, as far as I can make out it is a free Wiki, but designed especially with students and virtual learning environments in mind.
You can create a site, haven't done that as yet a I was only having a cursory look, but will let you know when I do. invite students upload to a library and link to other teachers and students. This may be something I can investigate for next year with my e-learning course. It appears to be very easy to use, and if it were used in a school environment it would allow autonomy of course design for the teacher and yet the ability to link to other teachers or courses through a networking aspect. Most VLE's allow courses to be linked under one banner, but less so the teacher network.
Are there uses here for the sharing of best practise perhaps.
