ConnectYard Adds Social Tools to Blackboard

Sharing an article I saw today from The Journal. I’ve never seen a 3rd party building block like this before for social media integration with a learning management system (LMS). As educators, we know it's difficult for us to connect with 21st century learners, especially as they are so immersed with social media tools for communications. I think it's a great idea. I wonder if there will be other companies heading in this direction or not. http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/04/12/connectyard-adds-social-tools-to-blackboard-learn.aspx.

I’m sure you’re curious like I was to see what the interface looked like. Here is the link to the demo page. Scroll down and you’ll see a video clip, http://www1.connectyard.com/demo.
