There are a variety of settings that you can use Chromebook administrator policies to create your restricted profile. Not all of these options may be right for your district. Pick and choose the options that work for you.
Ultimately, you will need to work with your entire school community to determine the appropriate configuration for your district.
The more voices teachers, administrators, parents, and students who are involved in this process, the better. Bring your student counsel into the discussion and ask them what should happen when students violates the technology guidelines for your school.
The following is a list of different restricts that you can apply to your restricted Chromebook profile to serve as a deterrent for off-task and disruptive technology use. Access to inappropriate or distracting media is a big challenge faced by classroom teachers.
Streaming non-instructional music and videos was listed as one of the top off-task behaviors in Chromebook classrooms. A simple change to ChromeOS admin settings will place heavy restrictions on viewing music and videos on a Chromebook. One of the most powerful restrictions on this entire list is the ability to block the use of the headphone jack.
Note: This setting mutes a student device, regardless of whether the headphone jack is in use. Another potential issue is the inappropriate use of the webcam and microphone. These input devices have awesome classroom applications, but can also be used to capture images and audio without permission.

Access to social media is another potential classroom distraction. Again, a good web filter will allow your district to determine which social networks if any your students can access on their Chromebook. Students who are known to actively seek out gaming sites or social networks that are not blocked, or who have discovered ways to circumvent your web filter, may need additional restrictions placed on their account.
Most gaming sites and social networks require the use of Javascript. Blocking Javascript is an aggressive way to prevent students from accessing distracting websites. Javascript is a commonly used protocol for media-rich websites. Blocking Javascript will likely cause problems for educational sites as well.
Use this restriction carefully. Students enjoy customizing their Chromebook with apps, extensions, and themes. Restricting the ability of students to add and remove content from their Chromebook is a good reminder that the use of classroom technology is a privilege that must be earned and maintained through wise choices and personal discipline.
When app restrictions are enabled, any apps or extensions that are not approved will be removed from the student device the next time they sign in. Add the instructional tools used in your district to this list! Students enjoy customizing their Chromebook by selecting a custom wallpaper.
