Gen Y in the Classroom

Posted in Youth Culture Research on September 18th, 2009

Filed Under: , , , , , , , ,

Just about every other morning, I navigate my way to Carol Phillips’ always-relevant blog, Millennial Marketing, to get her unique take on Gen-Y.  Recently, she featured the work of Sidney Eve Matrix, Assistant Professor in the Department of Film and Media at Queen’s University, who has written on the challenges and opportunities that come with Gen-Y in the classroom.  This presentation may have been created with teachers in mind, but it contains a lot of useful takeaways for youth marketers as well — in 38 slides, this deck walks through just about every social networking / web 2.0 tool worth-mentioning.  From Blogger, to WikiSpaces to Ning, this presentation covers it all.  So, if you need a refresher on the interactive possibilities that the social web offers, spend a little time with this deck.

What a delight to have you pick up this post. I have spoken with Sidney Eve personally about using some of these tools in my Marketing Management MBA class at Notre Dame in July. She inspired me to purchase two Flip HD video cameras. I think we’re going to have fun trying all of these toys, er tools, out.
