Save Valuable Time with Chromebook Badges for K-2 Students


Elementary Principals, are your K-2nd grade teachers losing valuable learning time because they are helping students log into their Chromebooks? If so, Clever Badges may be the solution! Clever Badges allow students to login to their Chromebooks using a QR code held up to the camera. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it allows teachers to focus on curriculum, not login issues.

Discover the magic of Clever Badges! This short 1 minute video gives an overview of Clever Badges.

If you are interested in implementing Clever Badges at your school, please let Information Systems know by filling out this brief Google Survey.
