at a Glance!
Whiteboard
on a Stick is our answer to seeing who
knows what. The concept (like the name) is
pretty simple. Pose a question to your class
and have them jot down their answer with a
dry-erase marker.
And
now, each board comes with an attachable
marker. Velcro(TM) attaches the marker to the
board and the soft side doubles as an eraser.
Neat, huh?

The
Red Carpet
Treat
your seminar attendees like Hollywood stars.
When learners feel good, and are swimming in
endorphins, they'll learn more.
This
inexpensive mini Oscar
Award can send a message of excellence
with a touch of humor.
What's
more, employee appreciation is critical for
building morale and motivating workforces to
produce better results--both in the classroom
and in the workplace.

Flexibility
is not Retro!
Gumby
gives us a little blast from the past . . .
but, in today's classrooms, Gumby is a
state-of-the-art learning tool.
The
flexible green toy that we've loved for
generations is a perfect icon for flexibility.
It is also a very satisfying fiddle that your
kinesthetic learners will enjoy playing with
as they listen and participate in your
session.
Gumby's
sidekick, Pokey,
is also available.
The article below, excerpted from Training
for Dummies, mentions flexibility as a
key to "Having What It Takes to Be a
Trainer."

True
or False?
1. All trainers are naturally well-organized and
neat. 2. All training sites are well-stocked
with supplies. 3. Training supplies are easy to
organize and carry.
The
underlying message in Denis Gratton's article on
Trainer Preparedness is that we may not be as
organized as we should be. Yet, becoming a
"boyscout or girlscout," as it were,
may not be as difficult as we think.
In
this brief article, Gratton recommends a
"must-have" packing list for all
trainers.
Denis
Gratton is Director of Product Development at
Langevin Learning Services, which touts itself
as "The World's Largest Train-The-Trainer
Company," providing workshops for trainers
since 1984.
