Digital Smarts - Engaging Teens at the Thanksgiving Table
You are here
Interested in keeping your teen involved with relatives they encounter at the Thanksgiving dinner table? Perhaps they would enjoy taking part in the The Great Thanksgiving Listen, a new oral-history project from StoryCorps. StoryCorps, an organization whose mission is to record and archive the stories of Americans from all backgrounds, wants to work with high school students across the country to preserve voices and stories of grandparents and other elders -- in any language. Incredibly, these interviews have the option to become part of a lasting record in the StoryCorps archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. All that is needed to participate is a smartphone and the free StoryCorps mobile app, available from the App Store and via Google Play.
