Today’s Topic: “Are You in the Correct Email Distribution Groups?”
Who? Anyone who gets email from groups they no longer are a part of.
Why? We’re all members of at least at least a few district distribution groups in Outlook (e.g. 4th Grade Teachers or ActivBoard Users). This allows people to easily email all members of that group. It’s only a problem when you’re no longer a member of a group but you keep getting the emails. This screencast shows you how to easily see which distribution lists you’re currently a member of. If you discover you are a member of group you no longer belong to, simply send a Tech Repair Request explaining you’d like to be removed from that group. NOTE: You cannot ask to be deleted from all-staff distribution lists (e.g. SL Staff, etc.) or TEA, etc. ANOTHER NOTE: This screencast shows you how to see what distribution groups you belong to at the district level (e.g. distribution lists that everyone has access to). If you are a member of someone’s personal distribution list, you’ll need to contact that person directly to ask to be removed if necessary.*
How? Watch this short screencast:

*If you’re uncertain about the difference between district-level (or “global”) distribution lists and personal distribution lists, you can watch this bonus F1 video demonstration. (Yes, that makes this a 2 for 1 F1 Tuesday!)
