As one of the stages of a research project on internet use, children were asked to take photos of their favorite objects at home and to collect screenshots of their most used webpages, followed by a conversation with the researcher. The use of photography allowed children greater expression and autonomy and gave researchers access to the children\u2019s own perspectives on their home environment. It also provided unique information about the arrangement of digital objects at home and their different appropriations by girls and boys. Screenshots showed creative uses of the internet by children and gender differences. Ethical concerns were raised, due to the specific nature of working with children and with visual material (anonymization and dissemination). Entering the domestic setting provided a privileged access to children\u2019s private sphere and to the in situ observation of their use of technology. However, the home is not a neutral place for a researcher and crossing the border into the private domain involves risks. These findings, illustrated by empirical examples from the research field, stress the importance of reflecting on and discussing the potentials, limitations, and ethical considerations of different methodologies, as well as their suitability to specific research objects, subjects, and contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/s1537-466120180000022016","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,13]],"date-time":"2017-03-13T07:11:28Z","timestamp":1489389088000},"page":"349-374","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Accessing Children\u2019s Digital Practices at Home through Visual Methods: Innovations and Challenges"],"prefix":"10.1108","author":[{"given":"Ana Nunes","family":"de Almeida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Delicado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2025122912010521400_s1537-466120180000022016_18.bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1080\/13645570120003","article-title":"Research by children: Rights and methods","volume":"4","author":"Alderson","year":"2001","journal-title":"International Journal of Social Research Methodology: Theory and Practice"},{"volume-title":"Para uma sociologia da inf\u00e2ncia","year":"2009","author":"Almeida","key":"2025122912010521400_s1537-466120180000022016_18.bib2"},{"issue":"9","key":"2025122912010521400_s1537-466120180000022016_18.bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1436","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444814528293","article-title":"Internet, children and space: Revisiting generational attributes and boundaries","volume":"17","author":"Almeida","year":"2015","journal-title":"New Media & Society"},{"volume-title":"Inf\u00e2ncias digitais","year":"2015","author":"Almeida","key":"2025122912010521400_s1537-466120180000022016_18.bib4"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025122912010521400_s1537-466120180000022016_18.bib5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1080\/13645579.2012.649406","article-title":"What\u2019s in focus?
