they see fit. As the images are captured, the technology would transfer them automatically to an online storage area to which participants would have access individually and as a group. Within here they would begin the process of ascribing meaning to the images by grouping them within folders and/or tagging them with keywords. Every couple of weeks, the participants would meet as a group to discuss their images and those of their co-researchers. The intention here was to develop a more thoughtful approach to the contents of each image, so that subsequent photos might become more informative and meaningful. This iterative process of image capture, grouping/tagging and negotiating meaning would lead to an increasingly sophisticated set of images which would tell the complete story of these participants’ learning.Although that was the intention, events didn't quite work out that way.
