     Tableau

    Hello everyone! Today I am here to talk about a fascinating app I recently came across when scrolling through my phone. The app is called Tableau. Tableau is an app you can download to either your laptop or the mobile app on your phone. It is an app that can be useful to aspiring sports journalists like me. Tableau has powerful data visualization tools that can offer immense value to sports journalists, with all the statistics we find ourselves going through on a day-to-day basis. Let's delve into how the app can enhance the reporting and storytelling skills of journalists.



    The first point I want to bring up about Tableau is how you can use it to visualize complex data. Sports journalism often involves analyzing intricate statistics, player performance, and game outcomes. Tableau allows journalists to take this raw data and transform it into compelling visualizations. Whether it's presenting shooting averages from a basketball player, player heat maps in soccer, or team power rankings from baseball, Tableau's interactive charts, graphs, and dashboards make some complex information more accessible to readers.


    The next aspect of Tableau I'd like to talk about is how you can customize your storytelling on the app. Every sports story has unique angles and dimensions. With Tableau, journalists can customize their narratives. Whether it's analyzing a team's winning streak, a player who is on a hot streak, or the impact of injuries on a team, Tableau's visualizations allow for tailored storytelling.



    Sports fans crave engagement in the media beyond just reading the traditional article about a topic. Tableau enables journalists within their dashboards to create interactive content for their readers. These dashboards can either be embedded in the articles themselves or posted on social media elsewhere to get more interactions.

 TECH BLOG #1     In my first technology blog, I am going to be talking about the best practices of technology for professionals in multiple different fields. One of my favorite things that I read in Chapter 2 is the "Communities of Practice" section. In this section they talk about how working as a community, not on your own, is one of the most powerful ways of getting stuff done. They state "None of us is as good as all of us" which is a very good quote. It tells you the meaning behind teamwork and how powerful one group can be if they all work together. It's arguably the best mentality to have when working with people you share the same interests with. Communities of Practice can be used in multiple different fields, whether it's a group of people running a website together, or a bunch of office workers looking to work towards the same goal, and there's almost endless examples of it when it comes to working in communities.     Another point I really t...

I find these both to be very useful when trying to build a connected learning community and helping you sustain a good community for a long amount of time. First, I'll talk about appreciative inquiry. As we read in the chapter, appreciative inquiry is a great model for success i...
