# Implementing Kiosk Mode for Chromebooks

**Step 1: Add the Horizon Education App to the Google Admin Console**

* Sign in to the [Google Admin Console](https://admin.google.com/) using your admin account.
* Go to Devices → Chrome → Apps & extensions → Kiosks.
* Click the + icon or select Add by URL: portal.horizoneducation.com​
* Save to apply the settings.
* After adding, ensure that:
  * Auto-launch is enabled.
  * The app is set as force-installed for the appropriate Organizational Units (OUs).

**Step 2: Enable Kiosk Mode for Horizon Education**

* In the Google Admin Console:
  * Go to Devices → Chrome → Settings → Device Settings.
* Select the appropriate Organizational Unit (OU) where the app will be used.
* Scroll to Kiosk Settings.
* Under Auto-Launch Kiosk App, select Horizon Education. 
* Click Save to apply the settings.

**Step 3: Add Allowed URLs to Restrict Browsing**

* Open the Google Admin Console.
* Navigate to Devices → Chrome → Settings → Users & browser settings.
* Select the appropriate OU where the Kiosk App is applied.
* Scroll to URL Blocking.
* Set the following:
  * Block all URLs: Set to \* to block everything by default.
    * Allow specific URLs: Add the following safelist:
      * horizoneducation.com
      * \*.horizoneducation.com
      * \*.learnosity.com
* Click Save to apply the settings.

**Step 4: Enforce Safe Browsing and Force URL Restrictions**

* Still under Users & browsers settings:
* Go to Security → URL Blocking.
* Configure the policy as follows:
* Allow only the URLs listed above.
  * Block all other traffic by default.
* Save the changes.

**Step 5: Deploy and Test the Kiosk App**

* Restart the Chromebook.
* Verify that Kiosk Mode launches Horizon Education automatically.
* Try accessing any URLs outside of the safelist — they should be blocked.
* Confirm that all Horizon Education features and content load correctly.
