Book excerpt: "Introducing readers to debates underpinning the uses of visual technology in educational ethnography, this book takes actual research projects across different country contexts to discuss how research designs can use visual technology in educational ethnography; to show connections between theory, method and research problems. The book begins by introducing readers to three epistemological positions underpinning the use of visual technology in social science and educational research: the scientific realist, reflexive, and dialectic. It illustrates the uses of visual technology in the form of digital film and photographs, and how as a source of data, it has potential in developing ethnographic knowledge and representation in a range of educational contexts. The ideas are illustrated through three research projects in the context of classrooms, home environments and intervention work with practitioners. With clear practical applications, this resource considers the part theory plays in research designs, which use visual technology to investigate educational problems. 'Using Visual Technology in Educational Ethnography' is ideal reading for anyone seeking to learn more about the benefits and practicalities of using visual technology within their ethnographic practice"--
