Product Review of Clever Deck Flashcards

Let data work for you, not against you. Managing data can often be a challenge for school administrators and educators; Clever provides a solution. You no longer have to struggle with updating your class roster because of transfers or withdrawals; instead, use the Clever app to automatically update your rosters. Say goodbye to the old method of exporting data and become more efficient by using this platform.

Website: https://clever.com/

What Users Love About the App

“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.”

“Clever makes it so much easier to use technology with students, particularly young ones! They don’t have to remember separate usernames and passwords for the multiple websites I like to use with them.”

“We use the Clever portal for my kids’ online learning courses. It’s a portal with multiple apps bunched together; it feels easy to manage all the apps my kids are using for online learning. Our current school zone is using the app, which includes the “Schoology” app. It also includes all the links that my kid’s classes use—like the teacher’s zoom links, their updates for each class, and the webpage that my kids can check as well.”

“The Clever portal is amazing when it works. The best parts are that all of the students’ information and links are on one single page. This is also the same page they use to log in to their Chromebooks, so it makes it super useful for little kids.”

“I love that students can log into Clever with several different methods. They can use their school email, their student ID, or even a unique QR code that they hold up to their laptop. We can even help them find their passwords if they forget them. Clever also holds lots of different applications and home screens for all of their teachers. It is almost like a virtual classroom. For example, on my homepage, I have the apps listed for them to easily access their student textbook online, their Vocabulary.com practice site, Canvas (where they turn in online work), and other useful apps. There are TONS to choose from. Students can also message you on Clever directly if they need help (only to teachers).”

“I like that with the Clever platform you can easily sign in to just about any website or application that you can imagine. It has excellent applications in the school environment and almost all educational websites and applications are available to connect with. If you don’t already have an account on some websites it will set one up for you, or guide you through a quick sign-up process using the information connected to your Clever account. I have found this most useful when I connect the websites and applications that I use the most and then organize them into a “class” or group.”

“The Clever portal is a one-stop-shop for teachers and students to easily access the district resources. Teachers and students do not have to toggle through several documents to find the links to district purchased resources.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“The search option isn’t as accurate as we would like for it to be. You have to be sure to include the correct name of the product you are searching for in the system.”

“The only thing that I dislike is navigating to find the apps or websites that you use the most. I think that it could be easier to access these areas of the website. At the moment, there are a lot of categories and groups which make it difficult to find exactly what you are looking for unless you use the search tool.”

“The problem with having a one-stop-shop like this is that if there is an issue with it on the user’s end it could be catastrophic for users. In this case, the users are small children so it can make some problems that are simple become very large issues.”

“(1) It’s not that user-friendly. Every time I sign in, it restarts my computers. 2) There’s no way to turn in my kids’ homework by phone, it causes too much trouble. Whenever I try to submit their homework, I take pictures of it, then send it to my email address, then download it from the computer before submitting it. It would be great if I could submit their homework by phone. 3) It said that people could manage multiple accounts (family accounts) through one page, but I haven’t been able to set that up successfully yet.”

“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.”

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
