- My grade 9 students are learning/practicing photographic composition. See their work at http://t.co/c2lkNTDv
- @shareski I think you owe him for all the pictures of his kids you put in them.

- @cptteacher Thanks for your comments back to the students. They will be happily surprised to be getting comments from outside school.
