School Computers

CalebPRF

For some reason I have a chromebook that seems to have an issue when it comes to Scratch projects. Whenever I play a Scratch game or an interactive project, it starts having these 5-second freezes that completely start to interrupt my game. This only happens to Scratch forturnetly, but proves how terrible chromebooks can be on running things.

I agree. The CIPA law doesn't say anything about tracking our browsing history, only blocking inappropriate content.

actually wait nvm i was wrong

Schools subject to CIPA have two additional certification requirements: 1) their Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors;

We have Windows 7, but a terrible filter blocking out many good sites. I'm so glad Scratch isn't blocked.

Can you Please name some of those sites?

For some reason, almost all of the extensions are blocked by our administrator in the Chrome Web Store. Most of the actual good applications are blocked by the District for no reason whatsoever. Administration has left us to embrace the pitiful apps of Google Dictionary, Google Translate, and more. For starters, multiple students have actually used Google Translate and Google Dictionary for cheating during tests. Of course, there is the over-hyped GoGuardian to ATTEMPT to take care of that, but I am not sure why they allow those. Then they got this Read&Write which they forced installed into the chromebook.

Also, the filter that blocks most of the websites in my school chromebook can actually be disabled by modificating the certifications and authorities. Its honestly really dumb how they didn't lock that area. Plus, students in my class are literally making Google Docs having tons of unblocked games in vpn websites and unblocker sites.

by the way you don't have to open the google translate webpage to access google translate you just gotta google ‘google translate’ and it'll pop up

i feel like schools are just stupid in general. when crown virus came along a lot of the teachers in my high school wanted to use canvas, but we got microsoft teams and schoology instead.

I think around like 2017-2018 my school switched from their own online system to using schoology

Legend has it that to this day, there is still no effort to patch the GoGuardian freeze bug

if your school is dumb enough to have dev mode unlocked on your chromebook then you can access the linux terminal using ctrl alt t (i think?) and typing something in
i forgot the command but once you get access to that terminal you can basically control the entire thing
otherwise you can test the battery output or something in crosh but that isn’t every exciting

Wow, for some reason my school district turned on developer mode and LOCKED IT. I can't comprehend the stupidity of that decision.

i was half mistaken actually crosh is just for testing but there is a terminal you can use if you search it up on the search thingy

Oh wow, our school abandoned Windows 7 in 2018. I actually continued to use it until I got the notification that it was about to have end of support.

How did you get an upgrade to your chromebook? I'm behind in terms of up to date.
