News ForumAnnouncements
You can use the News Forum Announcements item in Moodle to create announcements that are displayed in Moodle as well as sent to the students in the course. Every course is created with a News Forum Announcements item in the top block. Adding a new topic will create a post in the News ForumAnnouncements, add an entry to the "Latest News" block in Moodle, and email your students.

Remember that any posts Announcements you make to the news forum will get emailed to your students (even test posts!). |

For a general announcement, any of the above methods are fine. The News Forum Announcements area provides more places for an announcement a notice to show up, which is good for important events such as due dates for papers and not as good for reminders about who is bringing a snack for tomorrow's class.
