I think many people might not realize how much education has changed since they were in school (K-12) - there are now hundreds of educational apps specializing in all parts of the curriculum.
It's crazy to organize (hence why Clever is loved by schools) but the proliferation of apps is very useful for teachers to find the right tools for them.
- schimmy_changa 12y ago(also I should probably mention that I work for Clever!)
- ZeroFries 12y agoHow does this education ecosystem change in other developed countries? Do they have the same abundance of apps and options? Does clever have any plans on moving into these other countries (Canada, Europe, Australia)?
- schimmy_changa 12y agohmm - I can't really speak about the differences (sorry!), and have to be lame and punt your 'future plans' question to the quote from our CEO: “Our goal is to help all schools, and that includes international as well,” Bosmeny told me
- wooyi 12y agoColin - does that mean Clever is now more an App Store for schools? How relevant is the data APIs to SISes and the stuff that was initially Clever.
- schimmy_changa 12y agoVery essential - account provisioning / the API is the first step for an app to be useful to a teacher / students. As the top-rated comment suggests, we only help schools share the basic 'student 123 is in class 456'-type data with apps to allow this. (see the docs for more: https://clever.com/developers https://clever.com/developers) We then added Instant Login since we found it was a huge pain point, and similarly it is very lightweight. You're right that it has more and more features that you'd expect from an app store, but that was true before Instant Login as well :)
