That's exactly how chrome apps are designed to work and we use this method to deploy apps to students home computers. Impero really need to have an opt out when the app installs so that students can chose not to install it.

I think you would need one for the teacher who would setup the group then make it moderated public. https://support.google.com/groups/answer/2466386?hl=en There is even a Q&A section. It really is designed for what you want to do. https://support.google.com/a/answer/126169?hl=en If you really needed user accounts you could sync 200 accounts in a few seconds and have them login using your AD credentials with GADS.

Google Groups is pretty much designed for this type of thing in mind, a moderated forum.

From a course I went of about CCTV in relation to DPA, not GDPR, I was told that we had to 'restrict access' to the CCTV and have a policy detailing that. As long as the data is restricted in some way I believe this is compliant. We chose to restrict access to all teachers who are physically in the building. ie they cannot access the system from home, and students cannot access it at all. The LA said this was compliant with DPO , it keeps the teachers happy because they can all access the system and it gives me less work to do (going through tapes is a chore especially if there isn't a good fight to watch at the end)

project was canned by management so we didn't go ahead with it yet; we are hoping to have another go with our yr9 English GCSE cohort later this year. IIRC the price was around £7 per student per year, but you can have named students or yeargroups and don't need to pay for the whole school. There are other non-exam uses too. Its definitely worth looking at and it will probably save your exams team some time.

Was it only me that saw the irony of this ??

Are you trying to run exams on Chromebooks by any chance? It's just that I spent a while messing around with kiosk mode apps, text editors and the like and then found this which is paid for but a much better solution. https://www.digiexam.com/

True, but there are also some very broken pieces of software (I'm thinking SIMS): for example if I needed to delete a students data when they became offroll because that was the policy, how would I retrospectively get an attendance report for the entire yeargroup and include that data. I'm pretty sure SIMS currently deletes it, but if it were compliant it would anonymise it.

probably wireshark, but you would need to configure it to look for _googlecast._tcp.local It would probably be worth checking if your wifi allows this through.

This may help https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/discovery specifically: [h=2]Check the traffic[/h]You can see if the receiver is communicating properly with the network by inspecting the broadcast services on the network. On a device connected to the same network as the Cast receiver device, install one of the network service inspection utilities listed below. Run the utility and find the _googlecast._tcp.local service record.This record will describe your Cast receiver device name and model along with service data. Copy the record information for communication to Google Cast Support. Install the network service inspection utilities as follows: Apple OSX - Install Bonjour Browser from Tildesoft Android - Install ZeroConf Browser from Play Store Linux - Install avahi-discovery and run it as follows: sudo apt-get install avahi-discover sudo start avahi-daemon avahi-discover

test it first, I honestly can't remember the details.

It's an entirely impractical way to share things with people who are not a member of the group: Think carefully about how you organise groups - departments will want to share things like schemes of learning with management, and work with students. The traditional Drive is more suited to this type of application. Putting something into the team drive changes the ownership to that of the team drive - be careful about moving entire folders because it's easy to remove permissions from the owner (as admin). I recall something about links changing to documents (eg on your learning platform) you need to re-write the links. I can't remember if this affected documents or just folders.

We had similar problems to this and they were really difficult to diagnose. The best method we found was to shadow a member of staff and see the problems they were having. The situation was finally resolved by changing the head of department, all of a sudden everything was fixed !

What happens in File stream if you set users download location as the G drive and then download something from Google drive ?

Nevermind the U.S companies, are UK companies compliant? I'm thinking SIMS esp with respect to data deletion. Or is this how the marketing strategy forweb based SIMS will go ?

As far as I can see, you'd have to give the staff delegated admin rights, but just on groups. They could of course delete each others groups but at least you havea log!

rdp is fine if you want access to one server, or you're happy bouncing from different ones. To get decent access at a network level you need a VPN !

I'm not sure. You can delegate certain admin control by creating a custom roll but I don't remember if groups admin is part of that: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2406043 edit: a quick search says you can do this: [h=4]Groups[/h]Grants full control over Google Groups created in your Admin console. Administrators with this privilege can: View user profiles and your organizational structure Create new groups in the Admin console Manage members of groups created in the console Manage group access settings Delete groups from the console

Admin Console > Apps > Gsuite > Groups for Business > Advanced > "only domain admins can create groups"

We're working happily with 1:700* so I'd say 1:50 or even 1:150 is over-egging it a tad. It basically comes down to the systems that you put in place. * That excludes phones, networking equipment etc

Have you thought about renting something from Amazon or Google ? It might save you a few quid as you can pay for what you use.. It's also pretty good 'real world' experience -I don't think I've installed an operating system on something other than a hypervisor for years! Like others have said - to get a good answer to your question you really need to explain what you need the server to do.

Further to this, and in reply to @mavhc , the device settings do things like: setup wireless, add certificates etc things that are 'per device' rather than 'per user'. If you can use [insert your favourite linux management tool] to setup these things onto a non-chromeOS desktop and ensure users sign into the browser you get to use the management tool for free. (it works on Windows too and is a fine way of deploying apps to staff at home, but I think google are getting rid of that feature)

We have some Axis cameras and one of our students created an HTML 'map' that links to a samba share of the video feed. The cameras record direct to the share and the video is organised by Place (camera) -> Date - > Time so by clicking the links in the browser the user gets to the video that they need. We then have a script that deletes the old video after x days. We did look at some open source options but found that (I forget the name) duplicated much of the functionality that the axis cameras have on board, thus making the system as a whole less efficient. The advantages of our suolution are: very cheap (only samba , apache and some storage needed) It's simple to give all staff access to the cameras, which saves us a lot of time - just send them a browser link Very simple for staff to share video with police etc The disadvantages are The live feed needs a different link If an incident happened in the last few minutes, the camera may still be recording and the feed isn't fully saved until the camera stops recording Sometimes when cameras record across an hour (eg from 08:59 to 09:15 ) the video can be found in the 8am folder and not the 9am folder when the incident happened - can be a bit confusing for staff)

It's a bit more than that! The fact that Linux is capable of being able to re-invent itself is testament to its flexibility. Because it's not Gnome doesn't mean it's not a valid Linux. Linux is a direct replacement for windows in the school that I work at now, and at many others. It already happened! But it isn't. It's Linux. On a Desktop.
