title = "Exploring Family Engagement with Photo-Taking to Support Observation During an Outdoor MAR Experience about Pollinators",
abstract = "Mobile technologies that include photo-taking elements help to support children's observation and exploration of the natural world; however, how families engage with digital photo-taking features has not been fully explored. We investigated how 22 families engage with digital photo-taking features of a MAR app that prompts place-based observation of the outdoors. Families' interactions with the app were qualitative coded and then two vignettes from different place-based micro-learning locations were developed to understand learning practices related to photo-taking. Findings show that families were deliberate in taking photos that recorded their observations of the outdoors; however, the environment and features within the app impacted families' observational talk and excitement levels during the photo taking activities themselves. These findings contribute to the understanding of the importance of photo-taking activities during MAR experiences.",
