“If this Back to School season is an indicator of what Clever LMS Connect can do to transform how all of this works — it’s only a path up from here. I’m excited about the opportunity to standardize not just the technical aspects but also a quality of service that is just missing in the education industry right now.”
“Our big challenge: Balancing security with convenience. The secure method took up to 15 minutes to log in, cutting into learning time. Opting for convenience compromised security and lost valuable student progress data. Then we found Clever Badges to solve for both security and ease.”
“Clever put us in a position to push the use of technology in our classrooms. Now that the login challenge is behind us, we are using our Chromebooks and Google Workspace for Education subscriptions much more in the classroom. Teachers now have more time to teach students with these tools.”
Geoff Jones, IT Director, River Valley School
Clever is automation. I no longer spend my summers manually rostering, playing with CSV files, and sending to all my vendors. And after implementing Clever, I get significantly fewer tickets about students unable to log in.

It’s important to bring the data to a principal and share how well the school has integrated technology. On the other hand, it’s also important to ask principals what support they need to integrate more technology into classrooms. They might be missing out on a great opportunity when we have data that shows other schools are using it every day.” Geoff Edwards, Superintendent of Learning Technologies, Ottawa Catholic School Board
Our big challenge for K-3 logins: Balancing security with convenience. The secure method took up to 15 minutes to log in, cutting into learning time. Opting for convenience compromised security and lost valuable student progress data. Then we found Clever Badges to solve for both security and ease.
Having Clever and single sign-on is very beneficial for all my students, regardless of their reading level. Even those who can’t read in English or Spanish are capable of using the technology. They readily ask for help, and classmates are always willing to assist, fostering a supportive learning environment. This approach helps level the playing field for everyone.
With over 20 years in education, I’ve seen the unique challenges K-12 faces, and cybersecurity is a top concern.
The rising numbers of cyberattacks on students nationwide highlighted the need for an effective MFA solution that protected our students. An attack would be extremely costly for us. The cost-effective MFA solution from Clever significantly reduces the risk of cybercriminals exploiting our students.
Implementing comprehensive email security protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC isn’t just a technical necessity—it’s a fundamental step in protecting our schools from cyber threats. By adopting these measures, we can safeguard our communications, ensure the integrity of our data, and maintain the trust of our communities.
