Eric Tunney's Infographic

Assignment Title: Eric Tunney's Infographic Assignment

Uses in the Classroom: This Infographic would be used in my Strength & Conditioning class.  Far too often kids get complacent and start "going through the motions".  This can include anything from negativity, being lazy, losing the vision, accepting mediocrity, physically weak, mentally weak, etc.  This graphic would be used in a lesson discussing how students can excel in their athletics and achieve greatness.  This would be something to give out and explain the relationships between their qualities and how they are all intertwined and how they can all work together.  This certainly wouldn't be a fix all solution and wouldn't do much good if only visited one time or presented in a non-effective manner.  This could also be posted in areas such as the locker rooms, gym, and weight room.

Issues to Consider:  Perhaps the biggest issue with using this and most Infographics is presenting it in the proper, effective manner.  Anyone can create a great Infographic but if it is not presented in an enticing way it will most likely be deemed unsuccessful.  If students are to gain something from this, they need to know exactly what each part is all about.  "Positive Attitude" may mean something completely different to each student so it is up to the presenter to paint a clear image of what a positive attitude is and what qualities one should have.  Likewise, the overlapped sections will need to be explained perhaps even more than the singular areas.  A neat and organized Infographic combined with an effective presentation, can make for a great learning opportunity.
