Welcome to NMUSD's Chromebook Initiative website!

Since Fall 2020, NMUSD is a 1:1 Chromebook district for all students 3 through 12th grade. 3-12 students are assigned Chromebooks to be taken home that will be checked out from the library, like a textbook. They are responsible for ensuring the safe handling and charging of their Chromebooks. K-2 students will have access to a chromebook in their classroom.

With devices in their hands, students will learn the benefits that technology has to offer by fine-tuning their foundational research skills, storing their projects and activities in the cloud, and sharing ideas in a safe and supportive online environment. 

This initiative has lead to increased use of technology in the classroom, with students using it for research, collaboration and to create new and exciting works, while teachers are finding new ways to engage students both in groups and individually. As professional development for staff is crucial part of the initiative, Educational Technology Department has been providing training on best practices for using Chromebooks as an instructional tool, support for lesson design using a co-teaching model and customized trainings based on skill level of staff. Digital Fellows and Instructional Tech Coaches at the schools also provide support.
