We\u2019re <em>so<\/em> excited to finally tell you all: Powtoon is proudly partnering with <a href=\"https:\/\/clever.com\/\">Clever<\/a> this year!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who may be less familiar with Clever, it\u2019s an incredible platform for educators to digitally transform their classrooms. That means Clever creates a synced and secure way for school districts to manage the online learning tools they love and trust. And now, <strong>Powtoon has joined the fun!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Clever?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into the details of our new partnership, it\u2019s important to talk about <em>why<\/em> we\u2019re partnering with Clever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, educators, administrators, professors, and students of all ages who use Powtoon are our <em>absolute favorite people on earth<\/em>. It\u2019s from the education world that we hear about new and creative ways to use Powtoon in the classroom. And it\u2019s also where we see student imaginations ignite with passion and awesomeness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, we needed a partner who felt as passionately for real-life educators and students as we do. Clever fits that bill perfectly. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/clever.com\/about\">38% of their team<\/a> is made up of former educators. And Clever is trusted by <a href=\"https:\/\/clever.com\/schools\">90% of the top school districts<\/a> in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not just their commitment to education that made us fall in love with Clever \u2014 it\u2019s how they put that passion into action: with cutting edge technology that makes it easier for teachers and students to access the right tools at the right time, without all the muss and fuss of battling your budget or getting a new solution approved by your district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that by providing \u201cthe \u2018Amazon Prime\u2019 of educational web apps and services,\u201d Clever has connected with students in districts across the country. In fact, over three million students learn with Clever every day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A personal connection to education, plus a fierce commitment to technology that works, divided by 3.1 million students equals an EDU partnership made in heaven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know why we partnered with Clever, let\u2019s explore how this partnership works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any teacher in a district that\u2019s lucky enough to use Clever can now unlock our Classroom plan for a <strong>21-day free trial <\/strong>of Powtoon bliss! The plan includes the following goodies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Automatically sync all students registered to a teacher\u2019s Clever classroom into relevant Powtoon classrooms&nbsp;<\/li><li>Access to all Powtoon assets, including characters, photos, videos, templates, objects, music, and more!<\/li><li>Easy sign in with Clever SSO for teachers and students<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It\u2019s Awesome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an educator and a Clever user, this is the plan you\u2019ve been dreaming about! Give you and your students the Back to School gift of becoming professional video makers, public speakers, creative thinkers, and inspirations! Engage the three styles of learning \u2014 visual, audial, and kinesthetic \u2014 with Powtoon and Clever!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This special partnership also connects Powtoon to the rest of the technology suite you use with your students.
