alice-teacher Alice--for Chrome Books?

[Susan Rivas]

Hello,
I've heard that in order for Alice to run on a Chromebook that the security
would have to be disabled; thereby not making it a good choice in a
school environment. To my knowledge, the Chromebooks can only run on
web-based programs for coding and game design.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.

Take care,
Susan Rivas
