July 31, 2020 clever

No matter where learning takes place this year, at home or in the classroom, Clever has the tools to make sure your students succeed with remote learning.

Learning will look very different this year. As educators around the world prepare for Back to School, having flexible learning options and easy ways to engage with technology is a top priority. 

Now imagine a world (or a magical portal, if you will) where everything you needed was just one click away. Your Clever Portal unlocks a digital classroom for you, and your students, to love. 

Let’s explore!

A digital classroom to love

Typically teachers get to set up their classrooms so students can have an exciting first day of school. But if you’re not returning to the classroom this year, how can classrooms still feel personal and exciting? 

With Clever, teachers can set up a digital classroom for every class, and students get single login to access edtech apps and resources, including Google Classroom. When your students have Clever, digital learning is always available. No matter where learning takes place, students can access their resources on any device, just by simply logging into their Clever Portal.

Whether you’re new to Clever, or a seasoned Clever Champion, these 3 tools will help you and your students get set up for digital learning success!

Tool #1: Teacher Pages

📖 Everything for your class in one place

Set up your digital classroom just the way you like it. Create a Teacher Page and customize it with the specific resources for each class. When students log into Clever, they’ll see what you picked, along with edtech apps shared by the district.

With just one click, students are logged in and learning!

💡 Tip: Add an avatar to add some flare to your digital classroom!

Tool #2: Class Analytics

📊 See which students are participating and who needs help

When students are distance learning, it can be especially challenging to check in with students and monitor their progress.

Class Analytics allows you to see real-time student engagement. Take attendance based on which students are logging in, or track assignment completion by checking which resources have been used. These insights can even help you identify students that might need additional support, so no one misses out on learning.

Tool #3: Messaging and Announcements

🛎 Stay connected to students

These new communication tools make it easier to stay connected through Clever, to make sure everyone is engaged with learning.

Use Clever to publish Announcements to all the students in your class, whether it’s just to say “Good morning class” or “Remember to finish your lesson in i-Ready”. When students log in to their Clever Portal, they’ll be greeted with your announcement.

You can also send Messages to students individually. This is a great way to simply check-in or answer questions about assignments in Clever. Don’t worry, you can turn this off and on!
