Soshiku – Putting Cell Phones to Use
December 3, 2008 in Cell Phones, Education, Tech by Stephen
Very intriguing. I’d like to see more schools supporting this kind of thing.
Andrew Schaper, the 17-year-old founder, launched Soshiku after he himself could not find any reliable, easy way to keep track of his schoolwork. Aimed primarily at high school and college students, Soshiku has been made with ease of use and accessibility in mind.
After setting up an account, Soshiku users can add assignments directly from email, their mobile phone via text messaging (SMS), or the web interface. Users can also receive assignment due date notifications in advance to their email or mobile phone.
It doesnʼt stop there. As many high school and college students are aware, getting an assignment that requires partners is an inevitability. Users are able to add partners to their Soshiku account, so they can collaborate on notes, assign tasks to each other, and share important documents.
