Read our Guardian's Guides to help you learn how teachers and students are using Google's products, from Chromebooks to G Suite for Education.
We understand new challenges are presented now that children are home and shifting into distance learning setups.
When educators and guardians meaningfully connect, communicate, and collaborate, a child’s learning and well-being are greatly enhanced.
What is a Chromebook?
What is a Chromebook?
A Chromebook is a laptop that runs the Chrome OS, a cloud-based operating system. The Chromebook utilizes cloud-based storage, web applications, and Google Apps for Education programs. Since Chromebooks operate using the Chrome OS they boot in seconds unlike computers running a Windows OS; this is beneficial for school systems because the decrease in wait time allows teachers and students to work more efficiently. MUSD has chosen the Chromebook because it is a rugged laptop built to withstand enthusiastic typing, bustling group work, and other everyday school activities. Students will be able to use Google Drive to store files directly onto the computer. USB peripherals will work with the Chromebook, however, students will be unable to run executable files that may harm the device or the MUSD network.

¿Qué es un chromebook?
Un Chromebook es una computadora portátil que ejecuta Chrome OS, un sistema operativo basado en la web / en linea. El Chromebook utiliza almacenamiento basado en la web, aplicaciones web y programas de Google Apps for Education. Dado que los Chromebook funcionan con Chrome OS, se inician en segundos, a diferencia de las computadoras que ejecutan un sistema operativo Windows; esto es beneficioso para los sistemas escolares porque la disminución del tiempo de espera permite a los maestros y estudiantes trabajar de manera más eficiente. MUSD ha elegido el Chromebook porque es una computadora portátil resistente construida para soportar mecanografía entusiasta, trabajo en grupo intenso y otras actividades escolares diarias en linea. Los estudiantes podrán usar Google Drive para almacenar archivos directamente en la computadora. Los periféricos USB funcionarán con el Chromebook, sin embargo, los estudiantes no podrán ejecutar archivos ejecutables que puedan dañar el dispositivo o la red de MUSD.
The District has adopted an Acceptable Use Policy to set guidelines for the use of MUSD-Net services. All students, employees, and parents or guardians shall follow the rules set forth in the acceptable use policy (AUP) and to report any misuse of the system to a teacher, administrator, or supervisor.
When parents are informed about how educators are using technology for meaningful learning, they are more likely to become passionate advocates for school technology.
