use
52
Straight edge ruler of at least 60 cm (2 feet) is needed for measuring
and cutting charts and cards.
Flip chart paper and stands are useful for listing and presenting rules
and instructions and for drawing exercises but should never be used
in place of individual cards. If you run out of wrapping paper, flip
chart paper can also be used to make up charts, although it is comparatively
flimsy for regular use.
Photographic and copying equipment is also very useful if the
proceedings of the workshop are going to be used in a report. A
photo report can be written immediately after the workshop in a
few hours, photocopied and distributed. Long gaps in waiting for
a report can then be avoided. Pictures of participants and the charts
they created, with personal and humorous touches, trigger memory
and ownership in the outcome. Dry reports are seldom referred to
after the event. If the output of the workshop is very voluminous
and photographic processing equipment is available, a
photographic record can be circulated during the workshop itself.
There are special systems available for making photocopies direct
from black and white negatives. There is also special equipment
available for scanning boards, thereby capturing the essential
information instantly. (See Neuland Institute in bibliography.)
