Despite all the razzle-dazzle technology around, there's still no more lively, informative, and audience-friendly way to make an impact than with flip charts. But using flip charts well is a skill that must be developed. In this comprehensive handbook, professional trainer and communications expert Bob Lucas explains the basic design principles and techniques that professionals use to make impressive flip charts-the simple "tricks of the trade" that make an impact all the way to the back of the room.

In addition to tips on drawing and displaying great-looking flip charts, Lucas explains how flip charts can help make you a better facilitator. Over two dozen creative flip-chart-based group activities are included to help you lead a brainstorming, teambuilding, or problem-solving session. Each activity uses flip charts to draw out the best ideas and creative thinking from your group.For presenters who want to jazz up their "text only" flip charts, but don't know how to draw, dozens of ready-to-copy flip chart graphics, icons, and templates make it easy to create something special with minimal effort. You'll learn how to use lettering in an attractive and impactful way; understand spacing, use color and creative fonts. The Big Book of Flip Charts is the ultimate reference guide for flipcharts, covering not just writing and displaying techniques but layout and graphics, as well as flip chart facilitation activities.

Written for teachers to aid understanding of the need to make information visual in their classrooms, this book is powerful and informative and definitely can add to the knowledge needed by trainers and presenters when delivering their message to adult learners. The 162 pages are loaded with real-world examples and statistics related to brain research and the use of visual aids. For example, the author talks about one study done by the 3M Corporation in 2001 which shows that the human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text and that visual aids in a classroom improves learning up to 400 percent. Gangwer also addresses left/right brain, use of color, multiple intelligences and much more as he makes a case for the use of visuals in any learning environment. Visual Impact/Visual Teaching is a must for anyone who shares knowledge and skills with others.
