Dear Phoebe, For all x86 ones - I found using crouton + Xubuntu LTS on a chromebook very good. Including 3D acceleration [1]. Provided the HDD has space you can have complete workstation. Of course needs the students need to enable developer environment.
Which model are you talking about? ARM based processors will not have 3D acceleration. Any doubts ask me.
