Thanks to all of you for signing up for this course. I hope we'll all learn a lot, and have a lot of fun, over the next three weeks.
My name is Carol Scheftic, and I'll be the instructor / leader / facilitator of this course over the next three weeks.
As with any course dealing with technology, I expect we will encounter some glitches. I hope you'll be patient, understanding, helpful, and with a positive attitude as we proceed. I'll try to offer the same in return.
Since we won't be meeting in one place at any given time, having various means of communicating with one another will become essential to a successful workshop. Here are ways that you can contact me and your fellow participants during this course:

Finally. rather than introduce just people, let me also use this space to introduce a range of software resources that may be useful to you during this course. As indicated on that page, additional suggestions of entries to include are welcome. (Oh, and if any of you would like to volunteer to adopt that page -- do some research to identify more and newer resources, test them out, and annotate the list -- why, I'd consider that a great course project!)
