"Principles of the Camera-Pen Approach
* The camera in the classroom is available for:
... exploring and structuring the world.
... organising language (ideas, concepts, phe- nomena).
... producing and sharing knowledge about the world.
... expressing and interacting.
... documenting and reflecting upon learning.
* Learning through camera work
Shooting videos supports learning in various ways – camera work:
... concretises, visualizes and puts thoughts into action.
... gives observations structure and meaning.
... directs attention.
... supports meta-cognitive skills.
... develops and encourages interaction with others.
... strengthens ownership.
... produces emotions that contribute to learning.
