Steps to setup Online Testing for Chromebooks

These steps must be completed by one with Admin Access to the Google Apps Domain for the school.

Steps 1-5 can be completed at any time.

Steps 6-7 should be completed the day before testing starts.

Make sure to follow the steps in the After Testing section, when testing is complete.

Step 1: Enter the domain management from your email by clicking on the gear, in the upper right hand corner, and choosing “Manage the domain”

Step 2: Choose Settings from the menu bar, far right.

Step 3: Choose Chrome OS for the left hand menu.

Step 4: At this point, you may choose to apply the settings to all of the organizations in your domain or just the Students.  This is done by selecting the organization listed under Organizations. (see previous picture)

These are the URLs used in the following steps:

Step 5: In the Settings pane, scroll to URL Blocking.

In URL Blacklist Exceptions, enter the two Measured Progress URLs:

The following steps should be completed the day before testing starts.

Step 6: Scroll to the Homepage and Pages to Load on Startup settings and set both to

Step 7: Scroll to URL Blocking:

In URL Blacklist, enter a * (shift-8).  This will block ALL websites on the Chromebooks, except those in the URL Blacklist Exceptions.

Make sure to save the changes.

After Testing

After testing is over, set the Homepage and Pages to Load on Startup back to the previous setting or to your school homepage.

Also, remove the * from the URL Blacklist to return the Chromebooks to normal function. You can leave the URL Blacklist Exceptions.
