  I like the article because it pushes the concept of teaching outside the box. It emphasizes that instructors should not limit their instruction to within a Learning Management System and the tools inside. An LMS could have a wiki and blog built in, but it may not encourage a student to look beyond the contents of the course. Using social tools outside of an LMS may open the student to resources outside the traditional bounderies of the class. The tools will also be available after the course is completed, which would facilitate a life-long learning model instead of a short term interest.
