How To Make A Continuous Slideshow Using Google Presentations!


I was recently asked how to make a slideshow from Google Drive run continuously.
The first step is to have a Google Website to play your slide show.

1. Create a website using Google Sites. (I am not sure if it will work with other web hosts)

2. Open your Slideshow from your Google Drive.

3. Click File. Then choose "Publish To The Web" You will see the image below.

4. Click on the boxes "Start slideshow as soon as the player loads" and "Restart the slideshow after the last slide".


5. Click Publish.
6. Go to your Google Site.
7. Click on Insert, Drive, Presentation. (See Below)


 


8.  Click "Start Slideshow as soon as the player loads" and "Restart slideshow after the last slide"
(See Below)

9. Click Save. On your site you will see this.






10. People get confused at this point because they see a gray box and not their presentation. But you did it correctly. Now click the Save button on your Google website and you will see your presentation automatically start and replay.

How To See If Someone Accessed Your Gmail Account

Want to see if someone from the Netherlands just accessed your g-mail account? Or maybe some hacker from Nigeria, China or Uzebakistan? Follow these directions below to see if someone ELSE accessed your gmail account.

1. Log into your gmail account and in the upper right hand corner, click on your login name. A drop down menu appears. Click the link "Account"

2. Click the word "Security"
3. Under Recent Activity, click the link "View all events". (see below)

                      


4.     You should now see when you logged in last and from where. If it says another country under "where", change your password by clicking the "change password" button as seen in the image above.  Follow step 5.





5. Follow the directions in this link http://bit.ly/1daguhG
    to guide you in blocking apps from accessing your gmail account.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Prevent A Hacked Google Account

A few people I work with have had their Gmail accounts hacked lately. So here are some directions on how to see what sites or devices have access to your gmail account and how to revoke access to suspicious apps.

1. The first thing you should do is to log into your Gmail account and click your name or picture in the upper right hand corner. 

2. Click account. (see above). This is a link next to your image. (I am the frog) 

 

3. On the left hand side click Security and then click Account Permissions. (see the above picture) 



 5. You will now see any app or device that has access to account. The type of access is different depending on the app or device. As you can see above, my phone has "Full account access." 

Quizlet has access to basic account info, but for peace of mind, I will revoke access. This may mean that I will need to remember the password to quizlet, which is fine by me. 

I read elsewhere that if you are revoking access to many apps, you should write down the name of the app just in case you want to have it back. 

Good luck and I hope your Gmail account does not get hacked!
