An infinity diagram is a brainstorming method used when working in groups. Using this activity organizes ideas visually and creates an atmosphere where every member has a chance to be heard.
Materials Needed: Pen/Pencil, 3 (or whatever number you prefer) Sticky Notes per Member, Open Writing Space (e.g. White Board)
Step One: Come up with an overarching prompt to stimulate specific ideas. In this case, the prompt was “A team works best when…”
Step Two: Each member writes an idea on each of their sticky notes. My answers for this prompt were “everyone communicates”, “everyone participates”, and “everyone contributes”.
Step Three: After every member has completed their sticky notes and placed them on the board, the team will categorize the notes based on their content. The categories we created in class were “Working Together”, “Communication”, “Listening”, “Valued/Respected, “Thinking”, and “Resources”.
