The work Photoshop I did yesterday in contributing to the Padlet page has to be redone. The reason they are having to do this over again is because one student decided to post random, ridiculous images all over their page. Rest assured that I easily found out who it was and took appropriate steps. I am truly sorry if your work was destroyed in the process. I have created a new page and provided a link to it below.
