2013 TKR: TEAM: Tools for group meetings: Agenda

Tools for task oriented group meetings: Agenda 
Self-help--Thinkerer
-

-

-

- 

If meetings don't follow good practices, you hear:

• The meetings are just a waste of time.
• They just talk, go in circles, get nowhere.
• Lots of good ideas get ignored.

Here is what to do about that

2013 ART: The experience of Art: Mausoleum

The experience of Art: Mausoleum
LEA14
Misprint Thursday

• Maybe this is a museum.
• In a surrealistic dream-scape  
• A baptism of art.  Total immersion

-
The sim is divided into 9 parcels.  Each parcel has a "media experience" which draws from music tracks and visuals from the vaults of Misprint Thursday's digital creative realms.  The presentation may be especially well-suited for couples.
