A Teacher's Necessity

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I use Clever daily in order to both communicate with my students and oversee their Internet activity. It is very impressive that Clever has so many platforms that can be accessed with a click of a button. If I need the students to go to Kahoot, they can click the icon option within Clever instead of having to search it by name on Google. I also enjoy that I can post holiday-specific polls or surveys and then read their answers.

Pros:

Clever has many features that allow teachers to collect data, share materials with students and parents, and also monitor and control Internet usage by the students.

Cons:

There are not any features from this software that are displeasing.

Essential tool for every educational setting

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I will recommend CLEVER to all my contacts who have not already discovered how quickly and effectively you can roster, maintain and deploy your SSO for your entire district

Pros:

Clever is the most effective method for SSO that allows for custom dashboards. Teachers have classroom level control of the learning resources while district level supervisors can monitor usage, deployment and rostering

Cons:

As CLEVER continues to grow and develop, any deficiencies seem to be addressed and improved. Great development team

Digital Resource Management

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall, Clever is a valuable tool for teachers and helps them manage their digital resources in a central location. It's easy-to-use interface and integration of many different resources makes it a worthwhile investment.

Pros:

Clever is very easy to use for teachers and students. The interface is simple and students can easily see their digital resources. I also love that everything is centrally located and organized. It saves a lot of time that I would normally spend pulling different resources and creating student accounts.

Cons:

Although Clever integrates with a lot of digital resources, there are still a few that are not available on the platform.
