📸 The use of #streetphotography as an exploration method can bring so much awareness on the context of your research.

Above all when working on place-based projects, going around and shooting allows you to live the territory, experience the spirit of the area, meet its people.

🔍 Moreover, street photography is #research and #documentation at the same time. Which is very handy when you have many tasks in your hands.

🖌️ #Peckham, with its #graffiti and #colours, is very photogenic.

#PlaceBased #ScienceEducation has great value for #K12 and #HigherEd students.

This story from 2023 describes how instructors at East Carolina University College of Education use #VR and #AugmentedReality to bring the 'place' of place based learning into the classroom.

"Beyond allowing students to experience places and scenarios they never have before, using extended reality furthers the goal of science education in creating scientifically literate citizens."
