Clever Overview

What is Clever?

Clever was born of co-founder Dan Carroll’s frustration as a school tech director in Denver. His plans to use technology to save teachers time and personalize learning were stymied by countless CSV files and forgotten passwords. Dan recalls, “I wanted to be an innovator, but I got stuck being a human API.” Software has the potential to empower teachers and create new ways to learn. But one thing must happen first. Everyone must be able to log in—quickly and securely. To solve Dan’s problem, we built a single sign-on portal that now helps 95,000 of U.S. K–12 schools spend more time learning and less time logging in. Dan and all of us at Clever believe that technology is a powerful lever that can make education more equitable and engaging. Since the beginning, we’ve seen that when great teachers are supported by great technology, it leads to incredible learning outcomes. More than 95,000 of U.S. K–12 schools use Clever, including 97 of the largest 100 districts. That’s 60% of US students logging in with Clever monthly! We are proud to work with the education community to bring a lifetime of opportunity within reach of every student.

What do you like best about Clever?

Clever Portal makes it easier to manage all of the different sign-ins for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clever?

There is nothing I truly dislike about Clever. Occasionally it makes us all go through the process of looking up our school, but it still makes everything else so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clever solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are a lot of different websites that we use with the students in education and we are not always able to use the same usernames and passwords with the students. Clever Portal helps manage all of that so the students only need to log in to Clever and it has all the other log ins saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clever?

My district switched to a virtual learning environment due to Covid 19. Clever allowed both students and educators to access necessary apps with ease. We also tested new apps and became aware of options we didn't know existed. Typing a few letters provided users with potential app choices. It's also possible to create a group of "favorite" apps within the portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clever?

This portal works best with Chrome. Students who used Internet Explorer and Apple products had difficulty signing in, causing a delay in learning and proceeding with instruction. Some of the apps in the "relevant resources" section weren't purchased by the district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clever solving and how is that benefiting you?

My district implemented a virtual learning platform due to Covid 19. We use Clever to access the many apps that are part of instruction and learning. This portal put most of the tools we used in one location, which works for ease and accessibility. The variety of learning apps available helped meet the needs of each student.

Some questions are unclear or misleading even to me as an adult, which can keep a student stuck on a certain question for ages and quickly discourage them and make them stop enjoying it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
