🚒📽📚 In today's Tuesday Tech Alerts, read all about avoiding "Reply to all" fiascos by using Bcc, creating GIF's with WeVideo, a classroom virtual author visit, & more!➡️ ➡️➡️ | 💡 Quick Tip 💡 We’ve all been there: you find the perfect website for your research project on marine biology, but in a sea of sources you accidentally close the tab. If only there was a way to get to back! Well, now there is...  |

| I say let's not even give them the opportunity |
It's happened to all of us: you send an email to multiple recipients, and someone replies to all with "thanks!" Someone else replies to all "Got it!" Then a third someone, painfully unaware of the irony, replies to all with "Everyone please stop replying to all." It's not a good look. But with one little adjustment, this will never happen to an email of yours again.
When sending a group email that you don't want anyone to respond to with reply to all, don't use the "To" field or the "Cc" field for the email addresses. Use "Bcc," or Blind Carbon Copy. Recipients can't reply to all if it's sent with Bcc. If you were emailed these Tuesday Tech Tips from Tech Director Tom Mariano today, look at how the email was sent: it was sent using Bcc. You can't even reply to all if you wanted to!
Another added benefit of Bcc is that your recipients don't see each other's email addresses. If you send an email to your students' parents and don't use Bcc, then they all see each other's email addresses, which some people don't appreciate.

To use Bcc, you can click "Bcc" like in the GIF above (click HERE to learn how to create GIF's with WeVideo), or using the Control + Shift + B keyboard shortcut in Gmail also brings up the Bcc field. Let's all work together to make our future "Inappropriate-Reply-to-All"-Free.
