No, that will only duplicate the screens. If you want to extend the display you will have to plug into two separate display outputs on the computer. You could try a USB display adapter, although that may be dependent on the school's computer being able to support it.

I don't see why it wouldn't. You will probably need to install drivers at the very least (possibly a full on program) in order for it to run over USB. Does your school allow for this or would the security protocol block a new installation?
