Using Flip Charts

I have decided to dedicate my blog to those colleagues who work in really far places where they do not have access to electronic gadgets, textbooks or materials to develop their classes propperly.
Sometimes they may feel helpless. However, they count with the most powerful tool to work with: their creativity.
If you happen to be in a place where you cannot ask your students for a textbook, or where there is no power, you can create your own materials. In this ocassion, we are going to know a little bit about Flip Charts and their uses.

First of all, what is a Flip Chart? Well, a Flip Chart is a collection of large pages which are bound together at the top. The pages are "flipped" or brought up to the back as they are used.

Some of the advantages of Flip Charts is that they are easy and inexpensive to make and update. Besides this, they are portable and transportable as well as good fo interaction with the audience.

Take a look at these sites and enjoy working with Flip Charts.
