  Just tried, and their Google accounts do not have access to Chrome Remote Desktop unfortunately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting virtualbox for my students⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought so too, but the students are locked out altering any software on their Chromebooks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting virtualbox for my students⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This might be the solution I was looking for! Thanks!

  The only reason I would virtualize would be to allow multiple users to have access to their own workspaces.

  It would seem safer to have them sandboxed within a virtual workspace than to give them all user accounts synchronously on a desktop, if that’s even possible.

  This looks great! It’s far outside of my price range though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting virtualbox for my students⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are bios locked (or whatever the Chromebook equivalent of that is).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting virtualbox for my students⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fine with them accessing either OS. Right now they only have access to a glorified bloated web browser.

  I’m in a rural area without much funding. They would likely take issue with me adding complexity to their already overworked schedule.

  I’d rather ask forgiveness than for permission in most instances like these anyway.

  I’m vegan, so I’ve had it before…Oh, the software! Looks exactly like what I need (even though it might be out of my league to set up)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting virtualbox for my students⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just checked it out, and this might be exactly what I was looking for!

  Thanks!

  If only! They cannot be reimaged at all. They cannot even add extensions to Chrome. They are LOCKED down.
