I love these pads because they can be easily placed on the floor adjacent to a table without blocking the view of a presentation they can be placed on a table in a flat position to capture insights of a small group and then restored in easel mode for a quick summary of what each table team is up to. I have even built an eight foot high house of cards with numerous pads.
I do 'Safe Alcohol Sales & Service' trainings and I use a Power-Point presentation that can be fairly long & boring so I use the easel to post questions and then list answers. It breaks up the presentation and seems to keep the audience attentive. Works for me!
