Log Out When on Public Computers

by Scott Bates and Kathleen Grace 

When checking email on a public computer, remember to sign out of Google
when you are done.

To do this,

1. click on the arrow in to the upper right corner next to your name
2. Choose Sign Out.

IMPORTANT:

Tom Murphy would like to stress that if a teacher or staff member uses a computer lab, library, or student laptop to check their Gmail, the login box defaults to "Stay logged in".  

If you are using a device that is logged in using one of our generic accounts (for example, 02grade07) and do not log out, then the next person who uses that computer will have access to your gmail account.  

To avoid this, please always remember to log off public computers.
