Heart warming post! Several digital storytelling tools are now available to teachers. However, I like the idea of documenting various stages in our life, what we wore, our hairstyles, aging and so forth. I think for ELLs this could be a way for them to keep a connection with their native country and share their stories with other native students. Parents could also do this to keep a digital family history which is powerful for children.

Shaping Youth has become a bit of a digital history in itself for me in terms of pop culture touch-points and archives…

One of our latest ideas to challenge our youth advisors without overwhelming them is to ask each teen to pick a topic and step it out through the lens of multiple generations: the 21st century child, parent, grandparent or similar vintage participants…Could be a hoot.

For example, my mom turns 80 soon, and my daughter and I will both be contributing our take in a ‘that was then this is now’ snapshot about what it feels like to ‘enter high school’ (the feelings/norms/angst/environs/attire/activities, etc.)

Not sure if we’ll go the YouTube editing on cam route too, but know eventually we’ll compile a ‘living book’ asking our readers to engage in the same manner, UGC style, and publish a tangible edition to benefit our nonprofit, which deals with media & marketing’s impact on kids.

Lots of school iterations I can think of with this using Tumblr or other digital tidbits…Fun! Thanks for this!

Hi Silvia, Your post reminds me that it doesn’t have to be a major project to create a document that records events, thoughts, or to document parts of our lives. I love the idea of Daily Mugshots, the 365 challenge didn’t work so well for me. I’ll give it a try. Thanks again for sharing your ideas, knowledge and resources!
