Hello there, @JESSICABISHOP ...

Full disclosure...I have very little to no experience using a Chromebook, so I'm not 100% sure of my answer.  Also, since this is a forum to answer questions about the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System), you may need to consult with people at your school about your question.  In doing a bit of Google searching, I found a couple sites that indicate Java cannot be installed on Chromebooks.  These sites are:

• Can you install Java on a Chromebook? - Chromebook Review
• How do I download Java and other apps to my chromebook and open and run the application to install? ...

Again, I could be completely wrong on all of this...so if someone who knows more about Chromebooks and Java has anything to share, I would welcome that input.
