Gmail – Sign-Out Automatically

Gmail – Sign-Out Automatically

Posted on July 17, 2013 by Tom Terrific

One of the features of Gmail I don’t like for security reasons is that every time I open Chrome, it automatically takes me to my Gmail account. Obviously if I lose my computer, a bad guy would only have to startup my computer and he/she would automatically be logged into my Gmail account – not a good thing.
A number of other people have complained of this issue.

I have found a number of things you can do to help with this issue, but none seems to work ALL the time except for the last and that involves more work on your part.
1`. When you Sign In – unclick the “Stay Signed In” box.




2. Settings – Show Advanced Settings – Privacy – Content Settings – Cookies – Manage Exceptions – Add the line [*.]google.com – choose Clear on Exit.


3. I have noticed that it helps to actually choose Exit from the Chrome Controls rather than just clicking on the Red X.

4. Enable two-factor authentication. This certainly works, but makes another step for you to do.

Best Practices

Students often ask, "what is the best way to get this information?" The quick answer is, through hard work, repetitive work, and time.

While past learning has been approached as 

1. presentation
2. read
3. assess

I would like to recommend something different, as this is an accelerated course.

1. Take the chapter assessment, only answering questions you KNOW are correct.
• Use the personalized feature to identify your weaknesses
2. Interact with the curriculum, paying special attention to noted weaknesses in your pre-assessment
• Use the Discussions to interact with classmates and identify clarifying information
3. Preview the Presentation Slides
4. Read  Chapter Summary on Blog
5. Be an active participant during presentations
6. Retake the assessment, this time doing your best to answer each question

Basically, reverse engineering.

Inclement Weather Information

In case of inclement weather, please check the Montgomery College web site: 

• http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/edu/ or 
• call 240-567-5000 for class delays or cancellations.

If the school or campus opening is delayed by more than half time of your class, do not report to class, otherwise come to class and conduct what is left of the class.  Example: Class meets on Saturday 9:30 - 12:30 p.m., the campus opens at 11:00, come to class and teach 1.5 hours. If an opening is delayed until 11:30, do not report to class. If the class starts late and you, your students and the room are available to make up the class time in the same session, you can complete the entire class; otherwise, the second part of the class will be rescheduled.

Most importantly, please keep in mind that Montgomery College will always be operating on its regular schedule unless otherwise announced.

Please be sure to check this web site for information or signing up for Montgomery College (MC) Alerts to receive text messages regarding MC school closures - http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/EDU/Plain2.aspx?id=4106

Certificates of Completion and Letters of Merit

Certificates of Completion and Letters of Merit

How can I request a Certificate of Completion and/or a Letter of Merit for my Students?

A Certificate of Completion is awarded to all Students and Instructors who satisfactorily complete a Cisco Networking Academy® course. This is indicated by a “complete” marked in the Cisco® NetSpace grade book for the relevant course. A certificate of completion is not the same as a Cisco certification.

A Letter of Merit is a letter signed by Cisco CEO John Chambers that is awarded to Students and Instructors who score 75 % or above on their course final exam to acknowledge the excellence they have achieved.

Instructors can request, print and sign the certificates of completion and letters of merit for their eligible Students, for active courses and for concluded courses. They can do so for the entire class or for each Student individually.

Please Note:  

A) Eligible Students can also download their own Certificates or Letters from their Student Profile, accessible by clicking on the link of their name at the top of any page once logged in to Cisco NetSpace.
B) In order for the name of the Instructor to appear on the Student’s certificate, the Instructor must request the certificate first. If a Student requests their certificate before the Instructor does it, then the name of the Instructor will not appear on the certificate.

To request Certificates and/or Letters for one Student, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to Cisco NetSpace at https://www.netacad.com

Recording - So Long As You Pay It Forward
