Graphic Facilitation & Graphic Recording
Graphic recording is a tool to help groups work together. The graphic recorder puts a big piece of paper (8 feet long by 4 feet high) on the wall and works like a muralist, recording what the group is saying in a combination of words, pictures and symbols. Graphic recorders work with a facilitator, creating the visual record; graphic facilitators create the visual record while also facilitating the group. For a more thorough description and some recommended resources, see our summary of Graphic Facilitation.
Here are all of the resources in this category that NCDD recommends most highly.
