Interactive Learning Labs
Especially For Mentors
This interest area showcased a collection of interactive learning labs at the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota's Wired for 2020 Event that featured social media topics & technology reviews. Our primary focus was on bringing caring adults up to speed to support youth. To that end, we will be uploading the recorded presenations and their supporting materials over the coming months. The LIVE Interactive Learning Labs were lead by Social Media expert, Mark Kurtz, VP of New Media at Gage Marketing, along with Eric Raarup, VP Marketing at Inetium and Chris Potenza, New Media expert from BAS. Our extensive team of industry experts highlighted current applications that youth are involved with like Skimmer, Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, You Tube, Flickr and more.
