Since many people tend to use photographs as memory anchors, this author decided she wanted to know whether the process of capturing and manipulating an image taken during a learning activity would act as a memory anchor for children's visual, auditory and kinaesthetic memories linked to their cognitive learning at the time. In plain English, would using photographs make the learning memorable, and would this work in the short, medium, and longer term? In this article, the author shares her experiences of using photography in this manner, and discusses whether it enhances pupils' learning. (Contains 5 figures.)
