Quick and easy fix for blocked YouTube access (and other issues).

by   Posted on October 16, 2011 in Uncategorized

If you are plagued by constantly being blocked from YouTube or other “faculty-only” sites, here is a trick to help.

Any time you are about to leave your computer  idle, click and hold the two keys pictured below (Windows & “l”).

Windows & L key

This simple action will lock your workstation and you will just need to enter your password to get back in.  This will NOT help with Edline and GradeQuick timing out, but it will save you time and frustration because you do NOT have to wait to log out and back into Novell each time.

Please note: this is not suggested for overnight usage, just while you are teaching, eating lunch, out of your room, etc.
