LanSchool Air Chromebook Transition to PWA

LanSchool Air Chromebook Transition to PWA

Prepare for the Next LanSchool Air Chromebook Experience

Google is phasing out support for Chrome Apps, including the technology used by the current LanSchool Air Chromebook application. To ensure continued Chromebook support, LanSchool Air is moving to a new Web Application experience.

Google currently plans to disable admin-installed Chrome Apps by default beginning January 2027. Administrators will still be able to re-enable Chrome Apps through a Google Admin policy during the transition, however, steps to do so are not yet available. Google has stated that the last release for ChromeOS supporting ChromeApps will be in early 2028 and will be officially retired later in 2028 (see Google Article for more details).

Join the Beta and get ahead of the transition

By participating in the LanSchool Air Web Application Beta, your organization can:
  1. Evaluate the new experience in your own environment
  2. Validate deployment and management workflows before general release
  3. Identify potential transition needs early
  4. Provide feedback that helps shape the experience before launch
  5. Work directly with the LanSchool Air team throughout the Beta

Why make the switch early?

Moving to the new LanSchool Air Web Application early gives your organization an opportunity to prepare for Google’s upcoming changes on your own timeline and reduce the risk of unexpected disruption to Chromebook classroom management.

The new Web Application is designed to provide:
  1. Improved security
  2. Enhanced monitoring and classroom lockdown capabilities
  3. Lower memory and storage usage
  4. Faster deployment and setup
