Reading these links, I realized that this isn't going to work, at least not with the cheap-o 128 GB drives. These things are pretty slow.

Maybe > LibreOffice on a thumb drive is ok. In the computer class, they probably are teaching particular apps but I *think* they always have time to work on them there in that case. For other classes, they are usually handing in paper, well for the Word situations anyway. I guess they must be displaying PPT on the computer, as you say. I guess that makes the entire project moot.
