Abstract	Skills such as information literacy, global awareness, critical thinking, and problem solving have always been part of human development. Today's local and global economies necessitate having these skills for success. The purpose of this study was to gain an overall understanding of teacher perceptions of how their districts' one-to-one (1:1) Chromebook initiative affected their professional practice and the initiative's impact on student achievement of 21st-Century Life and Career Skills. The study was descriptive research conducted through survey research via Google Forms distributed to teachers in three rural New Jersey public middle schools, serving grades six through eight, based on their completion of one academic year implementing the 1:1 Chromebook initiative at the end of the 2017-2018 academic year. The researcher used convenience sampling for this study. The survey instrument was derived from the original survey "One-to-One Laptops in a High School Environment" developed by the Senator George J. Mitchell Scholarship Research Institute with the required permissions to use and adapt. Eighty-one participants volunteered to participate in the survey process. Research data analyzed with SPSS package 24.0 revealed no significant difference between the perceptions of teachers in the study based on the highest educational level they achieved, while teachers' years of experience influenced their perceptions in the area of students acting as responsible citizens and employees. This study will add to the body of existing research on 1:1 initiatives and provide educational leaders with insights based on quantitative data regarding teacher perceptions while planning to implement initiatives for technology integration and curriculum development within their districts.
