I really enjoyed browsing the work your students are producing. They have started to use some of the Photoshop features really well. I'm looking forward to seeing the videos they create. Don't forget -Keep remindng the students about security, privacy, copyright and personal safety on the web and their blogs will be ideal to use as an online portfolio of their work.
