"Hojoki’s basic idea is very simple: they offer one newsfeed for productivity apps. It connects to apps like Google Documents, Evernote, Dropbox, Mendeley and Google Calendar, building you a newsfeed and a collaborative space for your work."


What does this mean? You will be informed whenever anyone in your connected apps makes any changes...and your content is easy to find since it is in one place. A great way to co-create and share teaching materials.
