THE MIDTERM PROJECT INDIVIDUAL & TEAM WORK

FORUM POST: GENERATING IDEAS FOR THE MIDTERM PROJECT Using Activity Theory, let’s consider ideas for the Midterm Proposal Project in terms of an activity and a problem. For example, An activity: Creating & submitting run reports to support emergency 911 calls A problem : How can EMTs more easily, accurately record patient information on emergency runs?

IDENTIFY SOLUTION(S) & AUDIENCE Solution : Create a phone app for EMTs that tracks, records, and submits emergency run & patient information to the reporting agency. Audience : EMTs on emergency runs (and possibly other health related workers)

ASK QUESTIONS CONCERNING ACTION & ACTIVITY What would participants be doing when/if your proposal were accepted & implemented? EMTs are busy going on EMT calls, taking patient history, administering care, documenting services Why would participants be taking these actions? These actions are part of their job description. It is what they do. How does patient info, documentation, etc. help them to provide care & transport for patients? Accurate patient information helps EMTs, doctors, nurses and other health professionals make wise decisions about patient care.

CREATE A SCENARIO Identify participants, actions and activity that your team will target with your grant proposal. Aim to transform a real social practice. Use team collaboration to change the world…for the better! Fit project within the time constraints of this course.

PRIOR PROJECTS ► Eyes for Iowa: Organization to help children with CED ► Fresh Food Pantry: Community garden program ► HELP: Work program for Ethiopian refugees in Iowa. All of these projects involve issues of... ► resources ► agency ► access ► Skill ► ASK: Who benefits from the transformations your proposal recommends? How?

THE PROJECT PITCH THE BASIC PROBLEM YOUR PROPOSAL ADDRESSES

THREE ELEMENTS OF THE PITCH Problem, Objective (s), Benefit (s) Overriding Problem: The key problem your project intends to address or solve. Objectives: What you plan to do to move from S1 (current situation) to S2 (proposed situation or desired results). Benefits: Those good things that will accrue to stakeholders while the project objective(s) are in the process of being achieved (i.e., as deliverables are completed) or after the project objective(s) have been achieved.

UNIT 3 FORUM POST For your post in unit 3, each team member should prepare an idea for the team with all three elements (Problem, Objective(s), and Benefit(s). Post your project pitch in the designated forum space for your team. For example, a RED team member would post his/her idea in the RED team forum space. Next, discuss and choose one idea from the suggested project pitches found on your Team’s forum space.
