Every year, trainings, seminars, lectures for staff are gaining more and more popularity. Such events can be held for training or advanced training. Enterprises understand that it is much more profitable to train staff than to look for people with experience, especially since in our time not only technologies are developing, but also the level of customer service, communication and attitude towards the client.
What is a flipchart for
At trainings or seminars, a board was used some time ago. A large wooden canvas on which you can lay out everything you need. At the same time, it is easily wiped off and does not deteriorate. The use of the board has become a classic, and for a long time nothing has changed in this regard. But in this case, you need a room with a special device. And what if there is none? The initially designated place for trainings with a training board is a traditional classroom in an educational institution. Such classrooms are often busy, and it is necessary to select a place for training sessions two to three weeks in advance.
Without losing the topic of the training, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the most effective trainings are held insmall team, up to ten people in the group. In this connection, it is not advisable to rent premises for a seminar for ten people with a large board. But writing at the training is still necessary. That's why a device such as a flipchart was created. Flipchart - what is it? This is a special device for drawing, drawing or writing any material. A flipchart board can be of a wide variety of types, these are paper tabs, and magnetic, and ordinary plastic for drawing.
What is a flipchart
Flipchart - what is it and what is it eaten with? Such a question is immediately asked by persons who see an incomprehensible device on crooked legs. A flipchart is a small portable board that you can draw on. This board rests on four legs and can be located in any convenient place. The height of this device is mostly small - about one hundred and sixty or one hundred and eighty centimeters. It can be adjusted for ease of use. The flipchart was created in such a way that any person, despite his height, could calmly conduct a lecture, while describing the necessary points, and not reach for the very top of the board.
There are several types of flipcharts. One of the easiest to use would be a marker flipchart. It is also the cheapest option.
Types of flipcharts
What is a flipchart, we have already figured out what it is for - too. Now we need to pay attention to what they are. Flipcharts canbe:
- Paper flipchart.
- Marker flipchart.
- Magnetic flipchart.
- Magnetic marker flipchart.
Paper flipchart
The paper flipchart is one of the easiest to use. But, unfortunately, it cannot be said that it belongs to cheap and affordable options. This kind of flipchart is very convenient to use if you are preparing a presentation. The material that you need to present at the meeting can be prepared in advance on paper and wait for the right moment during the lesson. Flipchart paper can be purchased at any office supply store. It is quite dense, can withstand marker drawing and not blur. In addition, flipchart paper is carried in a tube on a string. Firstly, this type of transportation is quite convenient and can be used even for long distances. Secondly, if you carry paper in a tube, it will retain its appearance and be protected from external factors such as rain, wind, snow, hail.
Magnetic flipchart
Using a magnetic flipchart is much cheaper than paper. This device is convenient in that you purchase it once, after which you will not need to spend extra money on consumables. This is one of the most expensive types, as it uses magnets for all writing, which are attracted to the main matte board. Thus, a magnetic flipchart can work for a long time with one magnetic marker. It is quite different fromstandard paper.
When people first see such an unusual flipchart, they don't immediately understand what it is. His strange appearance is often confusing. However, this innovative flipchart is made using a simple technology using the fine powder of the same name, which is located on the back of the magnetic case. The marker itself is made of a magnetized metal that interacts with a special powder. Thus, when the latter is attracted to the matte outer film, an image appears on the board. These drawings are wiped with a special washcloth, which demagnetizes the board.
Marker Flipchart
The marker flipchart is the most popular for the behavior of the trainings that the group should work on. This is a simple fixture that is made of ordinary plastic. The image on it is created using a familiar marker. Thanks to this, drawings can be of a wide variety of colors. This is convenient if there is a need to highlight certain details for greater focus on them.
For drawing, special non-permanent markers are used, which are erased with washcloths attached to them. A marker flipchart will be a more budget-friendly option than paper, but still, you will need to constantly spend money on markers and washcloths.
Mixed Flipcharts
And the most interesting option is mixed boards. A magnetic marker flipchart can work on one or the other principle. By using this device, you canchoose for yourself any positive features of the two devices. When conducting training on such a board, you can work on a more convenient option for you, for example, on a magnetic board. And if necessary, highlight the most important points from those that will be on the board with a colored marker.
Flipchart at home
If you have small children in your house who love to draw, then the answer to the question of whether you need a flipchart will be obvious to you. What is it for toddlers? A great place to practice their artistic abilities. For you - the salvation of wallpaper, furniture, floor. If the child wants to draw, you can simply suggest that he arm himself with a marker and decorate the flipchart. Such satisfaction of children's desires is many times cheaper than regular repairs with a change of wallpaper. In addition, having a dedicated space for creativity in your home can help your child develop and discover their hidden talents.
