Hi Rosie,
In addition to the benefits you mentioned I found this information :
Photography (digital) in a study by Carr (2006) empowered the children to choose what they thought was important.
Photography is also a form of expression when used in a recall situation in which children discuss what they photographed. Lastly it offers the child another language to use. Carr goes on to say that photography is a visual language that children use to register and develop their interest.
Cheers,
Luana
