How to Emulate Schoology's "Social Media" functionality?

[kevineaton]

Our School used Schoology in the past. We hare happily moving to Canvas now, but we are still looking for integrations that might allow us to emulate a social media type of experience for announcements.

Piazza is an example of a possible tool but we'd like to evaluate any viable options (both native to Canvas and third-party integrations). Ideally, we would have one location that would aggregate announcements from different courses/groups with a news/activity feed model.

Many thanks,

Kevin
