Kiosk Internet Website Mode Application

This app allows Chrome Device Owners to set a website in Kiosk mode. The User will be stuck on that website. They will be able to navigate the website but if they ever click a link that does not contain the website that was entered at the beginning, they will be redirected to the initial site. There is also back navigation and a return to home (initial site).

Simply enter the app in Kiosk mode and type in the site you want the user to stay on. You can keep them deeper on the site just by adding more of the address. Example, sagefirellc.com will give them access to the whole site while sagefirellc.com/hsd/makey will keep them only on the makey section of the website.

Great for teachers looking to keep a student on one site such as a typing website. If your state already has a Kiosk app for their state test then your IT probably knows how to add this app to your Chromebooks.
