Block Javascript Games on managed Chromebooks

[rakess]

I am new to the role of tech manager at our private school. I have successfully blocked apps and extensions on our chromebooks but now the students are playing javascript games. Normally I would not care too much but they are beginning to make it a war to see if they can outsmart the teachers and administrators. And it is becoming a distraction. Chrome management allows you to turn off javascript but that just breaks too much, including google docs which is what all the homework is done on. any suggestions?

Hello,

 

Welcome to Edugeek.

 

Is this something your webfiltering solution could help with? Much in the same way you'd stop them going on inappropriate websites?

We use a combination of Firewall filtering through a Meraki cisco router and GoGuardian. These may not be set up completely correct but I am trying to figure out the best solution. Since I am part time faculty and my primary job is not tech I am trying to find the most comprehensive way to handle this issue. I don't have a ton of time to sit and research every site to block and that would seem like a loosing battle since new stuff continually pops up. To me it is reactionary to chase the students, I would prefer to open up what is appropriate instead of chase what need to be blocked. Hope that makes sense? Any help is appreciated
