Teachers can choose from classroom-ready templates like school syllabus, teacher introduction, class lesson, and assignment announcement. For students, creativity thrives with a simple, intuitive platform that enables them to turn homework, assignments, book reports, research summaries, and class presentations into engaging, educational videos that they enjoy creating.

Through this new partnership between Clever and Powtoon, Clever users can use their SSO portal to find Powtoon in Clever Library.
