I can't wait to see what we can do when we have more time. I am looking forward to doing this with more classes this week!

    1. Yeah, I liked that one too. I'm not sure which students did it (they were working with partners). I just downloaded the pictures off of the iPads after class. I will have to pass on the compliment.
