Hi Anne,
Thanks for this analysis of Edmodo. Having been a user of Edmodo over the past 3 years, I have definitely grown to love the platform. I have found that students have gravitated to Edmodo as form of social learning and that students who struggle organizationally in class have benefited greatly from the class calendar function, and having the ability to hand in assignments online. What I like about the story of Nic Borg is that he seems to be a fairly ordinary individual (in terms of background and education), yet his ideas and diligence to his trade have allowed him to succeed to the point of being recognized by Forbes. Obviously this an overly simplistic analysis, but it goes to show that when preparation meets opportunity, good things happen.
