The Clever and LanSchool integration will eliminate many of the pain
points that teachers and students typically experience when using
classroom management software. Setting up and managing software can
often be a frustrating and time-consuming process. With over 12 million
powered devices, LanSchool has shown success within both shared-device
and one-to-one environments by allowing teachers to control learning
environments more efficiently.
Through Clever, LanSchool can connect to the student information
maintained by the individual school or school district, alleviating the
time teachers spend managing class lists. Teachers and administrators
within the district will be able to quickly and securely implement
student rosters and class lists, and keep track of active, inactive, or
transferred accounts.
“With more than 50 percent of classrooms now operating at a one-to-one
ratio, Clever and LanSchool are committed to enhancing the educational
experience of all,” said Rick German, General Manager, Lenovo Software.
“This partnership combines the power of two leaders in edtech to create
a true technology advantage for K-12. Teachers will spend less time
managing devices, while students can spend more time learning.”
“LanSchool makes classroom management simple and easy and helps teachers
create a more collaborative and impactful learning environment,” said
Tyler Bosmeny, CEO, Clever. “We are excited to partner on a safer
digital environment where teachers and students are ready for learning
on day one.”
Currently, over half of U.S. K-12 schools connect on Clever’s platform
to expand opportunity and access for their students.
LanSchool and LanSchool Air will appear in Clever’s
App Gallery beginning on June 6, 2019.
Recently named as an award-winning emerging technology by EdTech
Digest, LanSchool is a classroom management software that equips
teachers with tools to monitor student progress on digital assignments,
minimize disruption, enhance student collaboration, and maintain a safe
digital learning environment. There are two versions: LanSchool, the
original product with a 30+ year history, and LanSchool
Air, purpose-built for Chromebooks, which launched in May 2018.
