Dale shared:
Ricky Goldman "Digital Ethnographers Journey"
Technology is our prosthetic device, they are tools that extend our boundaries, they are tools that help us see from the prospective of others.
Sees the video camera as her partner
Questions
What is our overriding question? Essential question that we will keep coming back to throughout the seminar? How can we justify our interpretation of visual data? Are some kinds of data easier to study?
Methods & Materials
Collect visual images that we can analyse, interpret and share our findings.

Review of Literature
Dale "Points of Viewing" by Goldman-Segal.
Theory comes from the Greek word "theoria" which means viewing or contemplating. We want others see what we see and we do not see.
You have to see the world through "their" eyes ie as children. As a social worker Dale had to go live on the streets for a night, just to see or know ...walk a mile in my shoes. This is no longer done.
Pink, has informants talk about their data, which informs her research. Reggio says, you sit down with the images, "Why was this important."
Reflexivity - the physical, the interpretation, very individual
We are apart of what is happening. Once we are in it, we influence it.
"The Hundred Languages of Children" The Reggio Emilia Approach - Advanced Reflections
What is the intent, content, context?
What is our criteria for analysing?
Everyone understands visual data and knows it is context dependent.
Analyse each others photo-
•What happened before and after the image?
•What is your emotional response to the image?
•What is missing from the image?
•What is the eye brain connection?
•How do you categorize it?
•What is the technical/aesthetic quality?
•If there was text, what would it say?
•What do you believe is the context of this picture?
• What is the content of the picture
•What is the intent of this picture? What does it show?
•How am I being manipulated?
"I will not ask, is this photo real, because I know it is not."
Share video/stop the video/analyse/watch the end

What can visual data not be good for?
Provocative Studies - I wouldn't want to see all the images
Quantitative Studies - provincial exams...why would we need a visual? Is a graph a visual?
Mammograms - they do look at images as well as data
Rolling Slides -talk to it (Dale)/historical and contemporary images/(Chris)

"We walk around believing that what we see with our eyes is real, in truth, each of us constructs our own understanding of what we are seeing." Donald Hoffman
"We do not really see through our eyes or hear through our ears, but through our beliefs. To put our beliefs on hold is to cease to exist as ourselves for a moment." Lisa Depit
The environment is the 3rd teacher
"How is humanity represented through visual images?"
