That is exactly what we are doing with...Great Idea! That is exactly what we are doing with the Virtual Village space here at PLCMC. We are in the process of developing a suite of labs that concentrate on a variety of areas that we hope to build partnerships and try out various new creative ventures and programs. We announced in May and also at the Games, Learning & Libraries Symposium that we are developing a Game Lab presence. Within the Game Lab we are working with our local university, community college, schools, not to mention CAPCOM Entertainment, Inc., the Library Game Lab at Syracuse, Wizards of the Coast, AADL-GT and Youth Digital Arts CyberSchool. We are also constructing a Learning Lab to build upon the whole Learning 2.0 revolution and also a Media Lab to push forward many of the initiatives that our ImaginOn facility has but ours will be focused more on serving adults.<BR/><BR/>Matt Gullett<BR/>mgullett(at)plcmc.org<BR/>Emerging Technology Mgr.<BR/>PLCMCMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827844479386431801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409282.post-46786178634270063302007-08-12T13:21:00.000-07:002007-08-12T13:21:00.000-07:00what bothers me is that we've imported third place...what bothers me is that we've imported third place-- yet won't admit it--- i see us as an extention as the second place.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am reading Oldenburg now and he just seems like one of those "NYC is so great" types that anyplace else is just second rate. So I agree with you... let starbucks be the third place and let's be something else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
