Today you will complete the steps necessary to finding health care that is available in your community and surrounding areas. We have already discussed the different types of health care services. Now you will apply them to a scenario and make decisions based on the information provided. When answering questions please do so on a new Google Docs “Document” and share it with me at dolesprojectwild@gmail.com, all grading and feedback will take place through Google Docs.
 * Introduction**:

Step One: Please identify each scenario based on whether or not you think it is necessary to seek medical attention. Afterwards choose one scenario that would require medical attention to use through out your project:
 * Task**:
 * 1) You have a 5 month-old baby that has not been eating for 36 hours, has diarrhea, and will not stop crying.
 * 2) Your spouse fell off of a bicycle during a trail ride and got a scrape on his left knee and right palm. The bleeding is minimal.
 * 3) Your 3 year-old child tripped while chasing your older child and hit his forehead on the corner of the coffee table. The cut is about three inches long and you are having a difficult time stopping the bleeding.
 * 4) Your teenage daughter just got home from a camping trip and is complaining that her back is itching. You see something that looks like typical bug bite.
 * 5) Your grandmother, who lives with you, is sleeping on the couch. You attempt to wake her for dinner but she does not respond. Her breathing is slow and she still has a pulse.

Please use the links below to locate health care options in your area. Depending on the scenario you chose you will need to decide if you need to see a family doctor, urgent care, or emergency services. Please answer the following questions:
 * Step Two:**
 * 1) What type of doctor do you want to see?
 * 2) What is the name of the health care facility you chose?
 * 3) What is the contact information for that center?
 * 4) What are the working hours of the facility?
 * 5) What is the name of the doctor you would prefer to see?
 * 6) Give me three reasons why you chose that doctor.
 * 7) What is the estimated cost of your visit? If it is free how is the clinic funded?

 * __ Tried and True or New and Innovative: __**
 * The technology in this project would be considered a combination of “Tried and True” and “New and Innovative” techniques. Today’s students have been using the internet to look up information and creating word processor documents since they were in elementary school. However the use of Google Docs to submit and record information is something that is “New and Innovative” in the past couple years. **


 * Article Support: **
 * “The need to improve students for adulthood is a recurring theme throughout educational reform.” One thing that our educational system lacks is creating the link between school and real-life activities. This is where the use of the internet as a tool becomes and educational benefit. By having the students research information that pertains to real-life scenarios we are enabling them to begin thinking for themselves and using available resources. Teaching environments that are implementing technology become… “more student centered and less teacher/textbook driven.” … “this shift to a more learner-centered instructional paradigm in which students actively manipulate information in a variety of contexts from a number of different resources in order to solve more meaningful and relevant problems” will let students make the connections that they need to be successful adults. **
