Welcome to the Computer Technology course learning HTML!
 This is my first experience teaching Computer Technology in the virtual world otherwise known as distance education although I have taught technology courses at the middle school, high school, and college level over the past 15 years in the state of Massachusetts. For this distance education course, I have planned a variety of fun, while educational, assignments including discussions in the virtual live classroom, research topics, group work, reflective papers, and PowerPoint presentations. You may feel a bit anxious in the beginning, which is normal, so I encourage you to contact me by e-mail at jburzyk@hopkinton.k12.ma.us or via the "Discussion" forum when you have a question or concern. Remember there is no rediculous question. My virtual work hours during the week are indicated on your class schedule. If I am unavailable, a participant may be able to answer your question or you may be able to answer it on your own with a little bit of exploring. I encourage interaction among all participants. If you have a technical question, please contact the Technical Department. Some general helpful hints to succeed in a distance education course outlined from Billings (1989) as cited in (Moore & Kearsley, 2005, p. 171):
 * 1) Intends to complete the course
 * 2) Submits the first assignment prior to or on due date.
 * 3) Has a supportive family and employment (school)
 * 4) Lives relatively close to the school
