Flip Charts


Presenter with flip chart Flip charts can be used in a similar manner to whiteboards, although they are usually smaller so you can't fit quite as much information on them.  One of the main benefits of using flip charts is they can be prepared in advance and the contents hidden from your audience until you're ready to reveal it.

Flip charts are a great way of discussing the results of group work - simply give each group a piece of paper and a pen and the results can be pinned back onto the flip chart for discussion.  Because of their size, however, avoid using flip charts if you're presenting to a larger audience.

Make sure you have enough thick pens to write on the flip chart and if you're distributing paper around, ensure you have plenty!
