When you need to send a message to individual students, use the Classlist tool
Announcements are great for all class messages, but sometimes you need to send a direct email to specific people in your class.
Navigate to More Tools > Classlist tool from the main course navigation at the top of your page.
Find the student(s) you want to send a message to, and check the box next to their name(s).
Click the Email button at the top of the list
A pop-up window will open showing you the list of participants selected in the "Bcc" field. Add your own email address in the "To" field and compose your message in the "Body" field.
Send away! You will see a copy of your message in your email inbox.
Check the box of the recipient of your message, then click the Email button above the student list.
When it's time to compose your message, add yourself to the "To" field so you get a copy of your message. You will see the list of participants you selected for in the "Bcc" field.
Start by clicking the Send Email to Class button at the top of the page.
2. Next, choose a group from the menu to email, and follow the same instructions as above.
