„ Edmodo could be used for a wide variety of tasks and lessons. […] It could also be a forum for open discussion in an online course setting. In a one-to-one computing environment you could post a story starter and have each student add a sentence or paragraph to create a collaboratively written story. ”

„ My Plurkline, for me, is a broadcast medium -I want to put a message out there and share some information and to do that I need to
keep the line clear for people to read and respond to. I'm not looking to gather information from other people there (have so many
other places where I already do that).”

„But I can see the potential for, say, a school. Certainly in the UK, [….] it would be really easy to set up a Yammer account for
students and staff to collaborate with each other in a closed-off environment.
So, if Twitter seems somewhat too open for comfort, perhaps Yammer is the answer. ”
