Is Anyone Listening? (Part 4 of 4)
Monday Morning Message ~ 2-28-2011
Your Distribution List is made, and you are ready to send out your first note.
Remember, you promised your parents that you would keep their email addresses confidential!
It’s easy and the secret is…
Bcc (or “Blind Carbon Copy”).
The benefits of sending emails to recipients using the Bcc Option is that it
1. keeps addresses confidential;
2. protects recipients from receiving spam; and
3. protects recipients from receiving a reply when
someone accidentally selects “Reply All”.
When writing your note, address it to yourself using your school address.
Next, choose the Bcc Option, and use the Distribution List contact name as the recipient.
Another benefit of using this option is that you will also receive a copy of your note, in addition to the one that is in your “Sent Folder”.
One more reminder:
You might want to use the day/date as your Subject.
This also helps parents keep track of notes/reminders.
If your note contains important information or deadline reminders, you might want to use that as your subject to get their attention.
You are now on the road to being heard, and more important, they are listening!
Have a great week!
