Tech Tip
Ooooooops! I Didn't Mean to Send That!

Have you ever sent an e-mail, and then realized you goofed?  That is such a common event!  Today's tip will help you "Recall" e-mail items from Microsoft Outlook!: This only works for e-mails that have not been opened by the recipient.

Recalling sent messages

  • Click Sent Items.
  • Open the message you want to recall or replace.
  • On the top Menu Bar, click on the Actions menu, then click Recall This Message.
  • To recall the message, click Delete unread copies of this message. To replace the message with another, click Delete unread copies and replace with a new message, click OK, and then type a new message.  It's been my experience that the second of these two works better.
  • To be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box.

A special thanks to TRT Kim Overstreet for these directions.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  When you recall an e-mail, the original recipients will see a message that says "Message Recalled."

STUDENTS & TEACHERS:  Make teaching a little easier for yourself.  Use PowerPoints other teachers have made!  In the classroom, you can teach with these PowerPoints using a computer connected to a projector.  These lessons can also be independent learning experiences at a center or during computer rotations.

Around in the Schools

  • Christy Wilson (formerly Hollon: Yates 2nd Grade) has all kinds of technology projects going on in her classroom!  After completing Success With Keyboarding, her students are finding it EASY to write stories in WiggleWorks.

  • Lansdowne fifth graders are becoming proficient in using individual student e-mail accounts.  Annette Moore and Carol Long are also starting their students in the FCPS Instructional Student Forums.  If you are interested in getting student e-mail accounts, or participating in the forums, just let me know!

  • Outside her classroom, Emily Dugar (4th grade at Harrison) is displaying Excel graphs of daily hours of sunlight. This is a 4th grade activity from the Competency Assurance, and is EASY to do on a computer. If you would like to learn how simple it is to make graphs on the computer, just let me know!
