5) If you clicked the Display Email List button, the web page will refresh. Scroll to the bottom again and you will see a box containing the email addresses of all of the class members. The email addresses have been pre-formatted with semicolons separating them for your convenience.

To email the entire class, start by selecting all of the addresses by dragging with your mouse. Alternatively, you may click in the box and press Ctrl+A in Windows or command+A on your Mac to perform a "select all" command. Next, copy the addresses using the Copy command, and paste them into the "Bcc" line of your favorite email client software. (Using the Bcc line instead of the To line will prevent students in the class from using "Reply All" to reply to all the students in the class, or from obtaining the email addresses of everyone in the class.)
