One potential problem with JHS is that the state is shared across all users (as far as I know). So you'd need to have them work in their own locale or something.
Perhaps you can just bring a laptop and open up JHS for the students to use? If you were concerned about security, you might want to run it in a sandbox. I've used http://www.vagrantup.com/ as a easy way to share and get development environments up and running (and sandbox). You can run that yourself (or any other emulator) to create your sandbox with JHS. If that's the path you went, then it might be cool to have a preconfigured image to share with students too.
