Wheel turnin round and round. This Steely Dan song was on as I was contemplating this post and I thought the lyrics were fitting. Over this past week, I’ve been thinking and thinking (wheels turning) about what I want to do my produsage assignment on. Some might say I’m overthinking it. I just really want it to be something useful and not just a deliverable to satisfy the project requirements. I can’t really use any of the 2.0 tools at work. I’m on the board of the local chapter of ASTD, but we already have a Google site and a wiki. By the way, if you haven’t heard of Google sites, its a simple way to create a collaborative site. Check it out.
So, my thinking has gone towards developing something for my husband’s profession, Emergency Medical Services. My husband is an EMT soon to be paramedic. Here in Leon county, the EMS people sit on an ambulance for 12 hour shifts. They have no stations, they just park wherever. The staff have very little opportnity to collaborate and discuss current issues. I’d like to create an online environment for them to effectively do this in. My first thought is to create a blog. I know that’s pretty basic, but I think it’s a good foundation.
Any thoughts?
