After [yesterday’s](http://continuations.com/post/13877226394/twilio-fueling-up-for-growth) Twilio announcement, this will make two funding posts in a row but that’s just how it worked out: [Edmodo](http://edmodo.com) today [announced](http://blog.edmodo.com/2011/12/08/welcome-greylock-partners-and-benchmark-capital-to-the-edmodo-team/) that the company has raised $15 million in a round led by Greylock and Benchmark.  Reid Hoffman and Matt Cohler will be joining the Edmodo board.  We are super excited about how this allows Edmodo to continue growing and deliver on [their vision of connecting and empowering students and teachers](http://www.usv.com/2010/12/edmodo.php).   Congrats to the team at Edmodo!
