Really Seeing Children Through Photos
September 6, 2017
Watch a scientist at work as a toddler places an acorn on a slide, runs to retrieve it, and repeats the experiment over and over.
-Diane Trister Dodge, founder of Teaching Strategies

"With digital technology comes an abundance of opportunity to take photos. For a while, I was taking so many photos I didn’t know what to do with them until I decided to use photos to tell stories of children and their work," writes Deb Curtis in Really Seeing Children. "While contemplating which photos to use for the stories, I discovered that if I studied them carefully, I could learn so much more about children's ideas and points of view.

"I've since been re-focusing the photos to highlight aspects I want to see more clearly. I crop the photos by cutting out the background, and then enlarge the elements I want to emphasize...When you examine these elements, you can clearly see the intelligence, skill, and serious intent children bring to their work."
