Are Announcements useless?

I have been posting Announcements all semester, but I was still receiving emails about something I had already posted an Announcement about. I finally asked a couple of classes about it and most of them were unaware that Announcements were being posted!

A small number of students were receiving notifications on their phones, but even they seemed to indicate that the notifications were sketchy.

So, should I just be sending emails to my students AFTER posting an Announcement and say "check the Announcements page for an important message"?

I thought I might be able to make the Announcements page the Course Home Page, but that is not an option.

If I am missing something, please let me know!

Cheers,

Keith
