SPM TECH TIDBITS
FROM YOUR TECHNOLOGY AND LEARNING COACH
JANUARY IS HERE!
The next Tech with TLC meeting will be on Thursday, January 21st during your regularly scheduled meetings. See you then!
Did you regret hitting the send button and wish you could take it back?
It happens at the worst time. The minute you hit send you suddenly remembered something important. Well there is a fix for that. Make sure you’ve enabled the brilliant ‘Undo Send’ feature in Gmail. This gives you a 10-30 second window after you send an email to retrieve it for editing – perfect if you make a mistake like including a private message in a thread.
To enable Undo Send:
- Click the gear in the top right .
- Select Settings.
- Scroll down to "Undo Send" and click Enable.
- Set the cancellation period (the amount of time you have to decide if you want to unsend an email).
- Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
