Platforms that Require Class Setup
The following NMUSD Approved Apps & Web-based Programs currently have free versions or have opened up access temporarily due to school closures. However, these platforms do require the teacher to create a class prior to student use.
We don't recommend using too many tools at once, but we wanted to provide options so you can find what works best for you!
What's Approved? Check out our NMUSD Approved Apps & Web-Based Services for approved & conditional platforms. This is an internal document so you must be logged in with your district credentials to access it.
