Introduction

Clever is a powerful tool that helps teachers manage classroom technology more easily. With Clever Login Tools, teachers can open apps for students, track login status, and even manage usernames and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

This guide explains each feature clearly to help teachers save time and support students better in 2025. Whether you’re new to Clever or need a refresher, this article will make the process simple and stress-free.

What Are Clever Login Tools for Teachers?

Clever Login Tools are features built into the Clever Teacher Portal that give educators quick control over classroom digital activities. These tools let teachers open educational apps for students, log them out when needed, track who is online or offline, and access usernames.

Some schools also use MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), and teachers can help students activate it. These tools save time and ensure every student stays connected and ready to learn.

How to Open Apps/Resources for Students in Clever

To open an app or resource for your class:

1. Go to your Clever Teacher Portal.
2. Navigate to your “Resources” or any “Teacher Page.”
3. Find the resource and click the three blue dots.
4. Choose “Open for Students.”
5. Select the class or specific students.
6. Click “Open.”

A green box will confirm it is opened. Students will see the app load in their browser. This works best on desktops.

How to Log Students Out of Clever Portal

Follow these steps to log students out:

1. Go to “My Students” > “Student Roster.”
2. Filter by the class you want.
3. Click “More Class Tools.”
4. Select “Log Out Class.”
5. Students will be instantly logged out.

Note: If students use Chrome with the Clever Extension, they’ll also be logged out of connected applications.

How to View Student Login Status in Real Time

Teachers can check if students are online using these steps:

1. Navigate to “My Students” > “Student Roster.”
2. Use the class filter to select your group.
3. Check the “Name” column for login status.
4. If a student is online, it shows “Online.” If not, it says “Offline.”

This helps monitor participation and attendance in digital classrooms easily.

How to Download Student Usernames

To download usernames:

1. Go to “My Students” > “Student Roster.”
2. Click “More Class Tools” on the right.
3. Select “Download Student Usernames.”

A CSV file will download with students’ first names, last names, and usernames. This helps for quick access and login support.

What is Classroom MFA? How Students Activate It

Classroom MFA adds extra security. If enabled:

1. Go to “My Students” > “Student Roster.”
2. Check which students haven’t activated MFA (red box shown).
3. To help a student, void the old MFA badge.
4. Create a new one under Student Tools.
5. Download and print the new badge.
6. When students use it, they’ll follow a login flow to activate.

MFA improves data protection and keeps student accounts secure.
